proposal

Right now im in the process of trying answer the question on the proposal. Its tough to answer the questions because im not completely sure of what action i am going to do with my topic. Im looking at trying to get involved with Easter Seals in Pittsburgh somehow by volunteering, donating money, or somehow getting involved. I am also looking at trying to find someone at Easter Seals or a special education teacher to interview for my project. Im going to keep looking, getting my work done and more importantly staying on track and focused!
