Application project

1. My application project is going to be an editorial on my opinion about steroids. It might be easier to write this paper because I know it was very difficult to write my paper and not include any opinions - non bias. Also it will take less time, I already know the information I just have to put my opinion with the research.
2. I accoumplished my opinion about steroids while I was writing my research paper. I now have to just put it in words with some research.
3. I still need to write the editorial.
