I remember the time when I was particularly struggling with my research skills, and it was very essential for my academic purposes. I was very confused about what would happen if I did not learn how to conduct proper research in academia or in a specific field in which I was not proficient. For that reason, a lot of people polish their timelines and their academic careers, their research work, and I heard from everyone that you will have an edge in your profile when you do research work or applications related to your field. This was the reason that led me to explore and learn research work for that specific purpose. At the same time, I had to complete my research work as a final project for my degree and two of the major subjects of my degree. The one thing that made it difficult for me to learn was the statistics and analysis procedures. Most of the time, we have to learn a specific tool related to research where we input a lot of data, and in return, it gives us an analyzed result for that specific topic we are researching. The challenge of learning those tools related to statistics and analysis made it difficult for me to conduct research. However, with the help of YouTube and my teachers, I overcame that fear of doing research and learning a new skill that was beneficial for my studies and academic purposes. Now, I have finally published two research papers in two international journals. This shows that I have overcome my fear and learned a skill that is important for my career.
