Project progression

My project has not come together as nicely as I have wanted it to, but I feel like I am finally starting to get somewhere. I really struggled in the beginning with choosing a topic. I originally wanted to study the culture of nursing, but that became too difficult. It is way to hard to try and get around all of the HIPPA laws in order to get the in depth information that I would have needed to make this project interesting and full of life. I was really saddened by this but quickly changed over into doing a project about my Church. I thought it would be easy to unravel some of the mysteries at how our church goes about evangelizing and seeing that God moves not only through the people within our church, but also through the people in our community. I was terribly mistaken about how much work actually goes into all of this, and found that it was really difficult to gather information and talk to all of the people that I needed to talk to in order to make my information seem like research and not experience. A large majority of my portfolio is going to be  interviews and pictures. I am a little concerned that my portfolio is going to seem as though I do not have a lot of researched information, when really I do. Its just a matter of figuring out how to get the information I have learned into a researched format. And on top of that, a large majority of my project is based on personal experience because I have had the opportunity to work with and participate in many of the events that our church holds to help us grow more spiritually, as well as helping the community to grow more spiritually. I really feel that the project is going well and will really come together in the next two weeks.
