As we review our final drafts of this lengthy project, it seems appropriate to reflect on the journey on which we have just ventured. At the beginning of this process, "Junior Theme" seemed like an all-encompassing project of doom. Thousands of potential articles- a vast population of potential interviews- hours in front of a computer screen lied (laid?) ahead.
Personally, the interviews proved challenging. All were set up to be email interviews, as hundreds of miles separated us. The three experts I approached agreed to do an interview. The first try, I received a response within hours, sent questions, and received answers before the end of the night. My next try seemed successful. I approached, she replied, I questioned, and... nothing. No response to the questions. I moved on. Take three! I approached, he responded, I questioned, and... nothing. However, this third try was not totally in vain. In his initial response, Mr. Scott Robertson offered over a page of insight to my Why question. Even though I did not hear back regarding my questions, his words proved quite effective in my paper.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank our teachers for their help above and beyond the typical teacher. Ms. Gressel, Mr. Bolos, Ms. O'Connor, and Ms. Eich, made Junior Theme manageable and even enjoyable. Thanks you, everyone!
