Progress

I have selected my charity and done some limited research into the topic. My choice is Schools on Wheels, a charity that brings tutors to students that could not otherwise have help with their homework. I feel that this appropriately fits the focus of allowing individuals to pursue their own success because education is the number one way to achieve success in our society, and giving poorer students a chance at a future is vital. It is also a charity near and dear to the hearts of University High School as Wes Priest's wife is significantly involved. I may interview her for more personal information about the project. I have not done much research, but I have gone to the schools on wheels website and looked around, finding a story about a 13-year-old boy whose tutor not only assisted him with homework but also allowed him to become a major part of a soccer team. This could be great appeal to pathos in that the tutors provide futures for specific children, and not just academically.
