**Process Journal**
 * //Date// || //Items Completed// || //Thoughts//: What did you find particularly surprising or interesting? What did you discover about the research process? About writing? Other thoughts? ||
 * 2/07 || chose a topic || I chose the topic EDS because my sister had this disorder and because it is a rare disorder, there is no cure and it is hereditary. I hope that with more research they will be able to have gene therapy in hopes of lessing the chance of her children having the disorder as well ||
 * 2/14 || Fact || This disorder is diagnosed through clinical finding and family history. ||
 * 2/18 ||  || being at the library helped me to better understand how the genres had to directly relate to my topic. I thought of a few examples for my genres and now have an idea / direction as to what view point I will be making my project from ||
 * 3/21 ||  || completed my third genre for the project. My fifth genre was an insurance card. I thought this was a good addition to my project because my sister always uses her insurance card when going to the doctors and its what most people use. ( the type of insurance companies may vary ) ||
 * 3/28 ||  || thought about my fourth genre for the project. I made my own version of a "patient history" form that patients would fill out when visiting the doctors. This form is also a form that will be passed on with your file and allow other doctors to know the patients track record. ||
 * 4/04 ||  || created my fifth genre which is a brochure that allows the patient to know what EDS actually is, what is causes, and why it causes the pain in certain areas. ||
