Proposal
This can be any topic that interests you that relates to growth and development. Pick a population you are interested in knowing more about (for example, developmental stages in infants, the physical and emotional transitions of adolescents, or the changes brought on by aging).  Describe your chosen topic and why you picked it in one short paragraph.  Make sure it is a large enough topic to have some research done on it, and small enough to cover in your paper. Changing your topic is allowed, but not recommended.
