Hey, i am working on my project which is the research part using my search engine tool to find answers to my questions that i have about communities breakdown. So, i will be spending this afternoon through Thursday reading articles that will hopefully answer all of my questions i have layed out. I have recently been making plans into how i will record my experiences in low proverty to upper proverty communities and the effects it has had on many children including teens.
I went away to New York last week and i visited China town. While there, i have been keeping up with my ideas about settings and places i would like to incorporated into my project. It has been a really nice time there and it has created pictures and awesome ideas into my head. It was very relaxing to get away to clear my mind but i am back and on the road to fulfill my journey.

Well, it seem like it has been years since i have wrote to tell you about my project.
But, don't worry i have found some great research that i have been reading over this past week that i believe will be very useful for my topic. I have already started narrowing down my search with the help of having the question layed out. I am having a bit of a challenge in getting some of the answers to some of my questions. But, i believe my endurance and enthusiasm to search will open the doors to making my graduate project more meaningful and interesting.
Well, today will begin with another long day of reading and catching up on getting my answers on paper for my questions. But the biggest goal toady will be seeing how i can use my skills through search engine to find the right tools to nail it on the head.

Hi, today i have worked pretty hard on touching up on my graduation project to lay a solid foundation on what i perhaps need to grasp to share out to the audience. I have spent my time today researching key terms to help make my research more an advance.

Today when sitting downing i have thought very deeply about writing my research paper based on lower communities that has had great impact on the people. I would like to see it happen but, because my topic is going to be on comparing other communities that are higher classes to see some of the differences it's going to be very difficult. It will take some time to actually pin point where i am going with this and my overall topic. I know i would like to understand why there are gaps between each community but i would like to be educated on how changes can be done along with research of how some communities have grown out of that poor poverty, abandon homes, and low businesses. Because after all in every community there should lye a place for children, moms, dads, grandparents, animals, and nature. Without this i think that each of race will always lack the appreciation of life and sharing a connection through life.

Hi, my name is Jay Carter an I am a senior here at City Charter High School.
My graduation project will be focusing on community issues involving my local neigborhood in Hazelwood, PA. It is one of the most top community with high crime rates along with drug use. I believe by my interest in striving to change my community will catch the eyes of many who have been try but failed and is still waiting for change. Perhaps, some i have spoken to over the previous 10 years living in Hazelwood they all agree that they would like to see businesses development that is design to make things more convience such as, a food market, banks, clothing stores, safe playground for kids to do fun but safe activities, campsite, parks, gas station, and more homes. These are just the basic things people would like to see change in Hazelwood. I have the feeling of setting the ground or foundation of their dreams even though i know it will take great hard dedicated work for it to successed.
Part of my graduation i would like to start taking action and spreading the word for others too to take action. There has been numerous problems of holding good changes from happening do to crimes, gangs, and unsafe drugs in this community. It has made things impossible to change things when there are still those who don't get help or overall refuses it. They have made my community an unsafe place to live. I believe change needs to happen before the next young generations falls into this theory of "real life is in the street without it you are nothing but a school fool".
Some of my personal concern about the gradution project i haven't really thought about until now, but it's the time in process it will take to get local interviewers and live meetings to allow others to speak out on the current issues in communities like Hazelwood. Another, might be keeping up . "In order for things to change for the better we need to take action to change it, because what is now a custom to people lives will become every generation custom future."
