Writing a prospectus

I know this is what I want to do. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt. Well, I mean, without much doubt. But yes, this is what I want to do. This thing is in my grasp and all I have to do is reach out there and ... write a prospectus.

U.S. grad schools ask for areas of interests, personal statements and letters of recommendation. My French school asks for a prospectus. I knew I needed to complete a proposal but somehow I didn't equate proposal with prospectus. Where was my brain?!?

Migration and development. The influences of flight and those who flee towards us. Project TOKTEN. Remittances. Receiving country immigration policies. African Diaspora. The role of print and visual medias. Oral tradition. The American dream. Intro. Literature Review. Research hypothesis.

Why couldn't my parents have raised a child who liked chemistry?
