5/11/2020 0 Comments Impact due to covid-19I'm fortunate enough to have most of my project unaffected by COVID-19, since it's primarily a research project that I can finish from home. It did alter my ability to have in-person conversations with the three women I interviewed, but Zoom, FaceTime, and phone calls proved sufficient. The biggest obstacle that I faced in the last month was being able to work on my project on the same days that I had online school. After sitting in front of a screen for four to five hours a day, the last thing I wanted to do was sit in front of the same screen for another hour or two. The first week I had off of school, though, almost finished the entire thing. The extra time also allowed me to add one more component to my research: a section about the class of 2020's intended majors, and how that relates to the data I already had. As my perfectionist self is adding the final touches to my 35-page report (sorry, Ms. Carsley, that it's that long. I promise it's quite interesting and is about 25% graphs), I also finished writing the script to my "Ted Talk" and will begin filming once I'm done with the three-day stretch of AP exams this week. I know that some of my fellow Fellows have been impacted more negatively by the Coronavirus, so I am grateful that I was able to stay relatively on track with my project.
