Reflection #5

This week, I updated my Weebly page, worked on booking my interviews, and did my

fifth research log. The only work that I did on my Weebly page this week was publishing my

research log and reflection from last week. I did not research any information for the pamphlet

this week because my main concern was trying to book the interviews. I had messaged the

marketing director from Shriners on Friday and waited until Monday because most places do not

answer emails on weekends. A different marketing person emailed me back on Tuesday morning

saying that she has a provider that would be happy to have an interview with me. We have yet to

set a time and date, but it will most likely be some time after 3:00 p.m. on a Thursday or Friday

because those are the days and times she suggested to me. For now, I am communicating with

the marketing person and not directly with the interviewee. I initially intended to contact a doctor

from Queen’s Medical Center for my second contact, but I thought it would be better to

interview someone with a more family aspect rather than medical because my research logs deal

with the family side. My initial contact to replace the Queen’s contact did not get back to me, so

Mrs. Nourrie gave me the contact of her sister’s friend that has an eight year old some with

muscular dystrophy. She asked if we could do the interview via email, but I asked if we could do

it over Zoom and keep it anonymous, and I am awaiting her response. The research log took

quite some time to do because the documentary I watched was an hour long. It really gives me a

new perspective on those living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and makes me want to

change my points to prove to positive things. Next week, I need to talk to Crishelle about the

materials to make the stuffed animals and when we should meet to exchange that. I also need to

work on my Weebly more, especially revising the Canva proposal because I think some of the

animals mentioned were changed.
