Have you ever written a research paper before?

     Have I ever written a research paper before?  In fact, yes I have.  The last research paper I composed was all the way back in high school.  It was my senior year research project and I chose to write a ten page paper.  My subject was on The Evil Business Tactics of Walmart.  From what I remember I passed with flying colors and graduated from high school.  And now I am here today, tada!
