It’s Isabella here and today Amanda and I have been trying to organize our project so that we know what our next step is. I have now decided that I would like my project to be a slideshow where we will be showing videos and pictures of rowing. Our main pictures and videos will be from the U.S Women’s Rowing Team, Poughkeepsie High School Rowing, and the Vassar College Regatta.  We also came up with interview questions that I will be asking my coaches and other rowers. We also found a hilarious video of a rowing boat flipping, which many rowers will say is their least favorite part of rowing because of the icy cold water.

I am looking forward to finishing my interviews with my coaches and teammates so their voices, in addition to my own, will be heard throughout this project. We will be back in two weeks, hopefully with some sample interviews.

Food for thought: “Not everybody wins, and certainly not everybody wins all the time. But once you get into your boat and push off, tie into your shoes and bootstretchers, then “lean on the oars,” you have indeed won far more than those who have never tried.” – Anonymous
