I need a 2000 word minimum research essay on the topic of Happiness at Different Stages in Life. I have written about 1250 words so far and
need it to be expanded, reorganized and developed further. Please use MLA for citation style. I am uploading my first draft along with the
works I have cited so far, feel free to add/ adjust to support the content you are adding. Also attaching the Research Proposal as reference.
Theme of the Essay – Happiness at Different Stages in Life
– how happiness is different at different stages in life
– how it differs as expectations changes at each stage
– talk about the U-shaped pattern of Happiness and how it dips during middle age and climbs up again at age 60+
– add more examples to support happiness at each stage
Organize the essay in such a way that it clearly shows each stages in life and how happiness is defined at that stage
Include strategies that can be used to achieve happiness at each stage
In case you need this for context, I am an 18 year old freshman in college, who enjoys buying and reselling sneakers, really close to my family,
considers myself happy although pressures of college can be really stressful. Adding this so you have a perspective of me as you rewrite and expand this essay.

The Harvard Study of Adult Development (one
of the longest-running studies on happiness) – The
project has followed 724 men since they were teenagers in 1938. (Approximately
60 men, now in their 90s, are still left.) The group consisted of men from
various economic and social backgrounds, from Boston’s poorest neighborhoods to
Harvard undergrads. (President John F. Kennedy was even part of the original
group.) Over the years, the researchers have collected all kinds of health
information, and every two years they ask members questions about their lives
and their mental and emotional wellness. They even interview family members..
