National History Day Reflection

        This year the NHD process was more stressful than last year for me at least. Me and Amy were really having trouble staying focused on our topic and we changed it several times to stay in a limited time frame. Before our project was going to be about the immigration process and how people were coming to the U.S and why but we've narrowed it down to the families that come here for a better life and felling guilty for leaving their loved ones behind. We managed to get all our info in time but we had a lot of trouble writing out what we were gonna say. We got our board done in time but we really didn't think that we were gonna make it to the citywide competition but we did.
