Reflection #2

Since the last time I wrote about my research, my partner and I had to change our topic. Instead of it being about the cure to Alzheimer’s disease, the topic is about the caregivers for someone who has Alzheimer’s disease and how they feel. The reason we had to change is because our mentor, Ms. Park, thought it would be best to switch topics so that our project could be more interesting. My partner and I decided to do an interview. We will be interviewing my dad’s aunt who is a caretaker to her husband, who has Alzheimer’s. We decided to do an interview because we want to see the perspective of how it feels to be a caregiver to someone with Alzheimer’s disease. What was easy about this process was making the interview questions and what was difficult about this process was having to change our topic. Because we changed our topic, we needed to find more articles and research more. Some things we need to do is research more about the caregivers who are helping someone who has Alzheimer's. We need to successfully do well on our ISD and our SLR. My collaboration with my partner has been going well. We both have the same ideas on what we want to do.   ​
