Project Overview:
This project allows me to learn about someone who is different than myself. It provides me with the opportunity to create a persona, establish it's anchor and explore what it would be like to be this person in my daily life. As this persona "voice" is created I will gain a better understanding of this person and the complexity that it faces through its anchor and various defining characteristics. I will journal at least once a week. These journal entries will allow me to reflect on research that I have done on my voice as well as general discussion around my opinions and thoughts regarding my anchor, the successes and the constraints it places on my voice as an individual. Throughout the semester I will be connecting theories and research to my voice and create culminating project to present to the class about my voice.
Introduction to my voice:
Anchor: Someone with a Physical Disability
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: African American
Disability: Paraplegic, confined to a wheel chair.
Name: Nathan
Number of years with Disability: 3
Age at disability accident: 16
How they acquired disability: Car Accident

As I move throughout this journal I hope to look at challenges Nathan would face as a college freshman at OU. In regard to his disability and as a new student at OU. I hope to further explore constraints of being an individual with a disability on the OU campus and look at services that are available.
Nathan and I will check back in with you next time!
