My field assignment was about enrollment for public and private elementary schools. I talked to two parents and two faculty members.

The assignment was interesting because honestly I thought it was going to be boring. The two parents that I spoke to were very nice and answered all the questions I had. The two faculty member were the ones that were kind of hard to interview because both were busy and the days they were available it conflicted with my availability but that gores to show that I need to make sacrifices in order to get this story done. When I finally got a chance to interview the faculty members they were both very open to answering any of my questions. 

It would have been cool though to interview the students. If I were to do that I would probably need a permission slip from each of the student’s parents. that would have taken a while to get and there probably would be a lot of trouble to organize that. I does not matter though because I was able to get what I needed from the four interviews I conducted. 

Overall I really did enjoy the topic I chose. I think that is the best thing to do. If you chose something that is interesting and you want to do that as your topic it should be smooth sailing. I think it is funny when students choose something that is not creative or interesting and is very bland to the reader. Because that is when your work becomes more difficult to do. 

I also noticed that everyone did their field assignment about an event or something that pertained with Cal Poly Pomona. Mine did not on the other hand so hopefully my stands out in a good way and not by failing.
