What Have you heard about the graduation project at City High?
-heh, heard it sucks, but it's a requirement
Do you know any 12th grade students who have already graduated that completed their projects?
-well now they would be in 12th grade anymore now would they??? hmmm!
What were their experiences?
-ugh, fine...I'll play along, yeah, they struggled with them I guess but in the end they graduate an entire month earlier than the rest of City High gets out for 'summer break' - SO IT WAS ALL WORTH IT
What are some interests you have that you think you might like to structure a project around?
-Ms. Reese knows my keene interests, why don't you ask her? but for those of you unwilling, I enjoy researching history and various linguistics, so perhaps my project will focus on a combination of these.
What are some of the concerns that you have about the graduation project?
-My main concern is that my laptop will burn and break in the middle of the project, as it always has these past three years when I'm in the middle of a huge project.

Nick, if you are interested in the history of linguistics, there are many directions you could go with this project. You could study how our language affects issues of power and success. You could investigate the use of language in the digital age (as played out in instant messaging, blogging, etc.) You could also study the creation of so-called "universal languages" such as Esperanto. Another interesting current issue in the field of lingusitics/language is the controversy over making English the official language of the U.S. despite the large number of Spanish-speaking Americans.
