Statement of Purpose II

I have decided to scrap my last idea regarding change. I realized that I needed a more concrete and clear topic for this project. Also, the creation of a music video wasn't realistically feasible in terms of my competence with video and video editing software and the project due date.

After doing some quick brainstorming with my professor this morning I have decided upon a new topic idea. I am a student who's hometown is only about an hour and a half away. I am also the first in my immediate family to attend college. Through this situation I have come to realize that there is a lack of knowledge and understanding in parents and family who are experiencing college life for the first time through their children. There is an absence of access, which leads to an absence of literacy, which leads to misunderstanding. As I am very familiar with this situation, I would like to share selected parts of my college experience in order to educate and inform.

Purpose:

          -Educate first time college students and parents through stories, opinions, ideas.

Audience:

-Students enrolled and attending the 9:35 am section of Summer 2012 HU2642 (Track A).
-Professor
-Michigan Tech students and faculty who may not be in the class.
-Friends of Michigan Tech students and faculty.
-Parents of Michigan Tech students.
-Parents/Adults who have not attended college.
-Prospective and first year students (@Michigan Tech and elsewhere)

Context:

-Will be presented in class.
-After presenting in class I will most likely not be in attendance when this blog is viewed and the communication takes place.   

-I would like to present this in the form of a separate blog meaning that it should be able to be viewed via a computer with internet.
