You may also use: Calibri (11), Arial (11), Georgia (11) or Lucida Sans Unicode (10).
No quotations are permitted in this paper. Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format.

This is a professional paper; not a personal one based on feelings. It must be written in the third person; this means words like “I”, “we”, and “you” are not appropriate.
