Today was another good day for my project. For starters, I secured another interview! I will be interviewing a woman named Ati next Monday. She lives in Costa Rica and works for an organization called Seprojoven that works with adolescent girls and gives them an opportunity to play soccer to build characteristics such as team work and perseverance. This will be an interesting interview because the woman said she can answer some things in English but may also need to speak in Spanish, so I will have to prepare questions in Spanish as well.

I then wrote out all the questions, and then translated them to Spanish. I think that I have a good amount of questions and that this interview will be very helpful. I'm hopeful that the language barrier won't present a problem, and the interview will run smoothly!

After creating those questions, I began doing some basic editing on the interview with Blakely from yesterday. I cut out the unimportant things and any periods of long silence or random conversation. Once again, I struggled with knowing which parts to cut out, so there weren't too many things that I could eliminate next. I'm excited because I noticed some parallels between Blakely's answers and Mary's answers, but also some sharp differences. I think it is going to be very interesting as this process goes on to compare answers between people with experiences in different countries.
