Undergraduate research is a good way to develop a student’s mind. It can also give the student a head start on a career or even earn the student some money. When doing research the student must work independently, which builds confidence while practicing useful skills.

or a classroom to a research project, the student learns much more than could be learned in another way. Mastery of facts

is only the beginning of our learning. It’s

what we do with them that really matters.

Summary of the Text The author has been successful in several different fields, such as academics, sports, computers, and business.
