My friend and I have decided to interview elementary and middle school students in Palo Alto and East Palo Alto. We plan to ask the students various questions such as “What do you want to be when you grow up” and “What are your favorite subjects” and other school related questions. After interviewing a handful of students from each grade, we plan to compare the data between to schools. We are interested in seeing how the students’ interests change as they get older, as well as comparing results to see if the East Palo Alto students’ interests change similarly or differently from the Palo Alto students’ interests as they grow.

If I could do anything for my 20% Project, I would do something significant that would help others. But I would also make sure that I am interested in the topic. To be honest, I currently do not know exactly what I plan to do, but I am interested in talking or interviewing other people. I am also interested doing something that is related to either young kids (elementary and middle school) or education. I think this project will be worth my time because I enjoy helping others and by talking to other people, I may be able to figure out and help solve a problem. I plan to brainstorm over the weekend and decide on a project topic within the next week. Because I have not yet come up with a project topic in mind, I do not know to what degree I can make this dream project into reality. At this moment in time, the only obstacle that stands in my way of my dream project is my own indecision in deciding on a project topic. I will overcome this by further considering over the weekend. I will most definitely have a project idea in mind before next Friday.
