Human Interest Profile:

Submitted by Desirae Grignon on Wed, 2009-06-24 10:54.

I officially started my Human Interest Profile for class today. I decided to write about Rob Parker-Ortley. He is a native kid that is a part of the Lawrence Youth Ensamble. His group did a play over the weekend. I decided I liked his ambition and his ease in front of a crowd. Today I did a phone interview with Rachael Perry, one of the counselors in charge of the Youth Center Ensemble. On Thursday I will do the actual interview with Rob and his mother. Cant wait. Pretty sure this assignment is going to be handed in late :(
