As a Bachelor of Integrated Studies major, I have been working on my Capstone project. What this means is I have to tie my three areas of study (Art, English, and Telecommunications) into one big final project. Since I hope to work for a magazine one day, I have decided to create a magazine spread on women who have overcome obstacles and are now working towards an education to help fulfill their dreams. I am writing the stories of 4 different women, photographing them, and creating a design layout for the spread. I'm really excited for the finished product, but I will be even more excited when it is finished. : ) I am in the process of interviewing the women, and what a rewarding experience it has been! There are some amazing people out there with some very inspiring stories. When I complete this project, I plan on submitting it to a couple of different magazines for publishing considerations.
I met with a beautiful woman today who was in the civil war in Sierra Leone, West Africa as a teenager and experienced some horrific things. She is married, a mother of two adorable children, and about to graduate. She has come a long way and is very remarkable.
While this project seems overwhelming at times, I think it will end up being well worth my efforts. I am putting it together hoping that other women can relate and that it might touch someone as the stories have touched me.
