I chose Risk Management because I will need to research it more to fully understand it.  Brainstorming has brought up some interesting areas of concern for my paper.  My desire is that I learn more about how risk management works in a project.  How to implement it and when to use it.  It is a topic that I am not really sure of .  Something that I should already understand better than I do right now.  This is giving me a better insight to project management and project managers.  These topics surprisingly interest me.  So for now I am going to try to learn as many aspects of project management as I can.
