Now that I've had the conversation with Vineeta Aunty about changing my thesis product, I've been able to finally start my paper! I had to email everyone in Pratham, of course, to tell them about the cancellation of the DCT event, as well as the director of the DCT with whom we were attempting to negotiate things. But now that that's done, I can finally move on and get started on my thesis product on my own. I really should have thought of this paper idea a while ago - if I had, I probably would have it almost (if not completely) done already. Ah well.
Today I created my outline for the paper. So far, I have 8 distinct sections: I'm going to start out with an anecdote about visiting India and seeing the poor children on the streets, and how that was my primary motivating factor to volunteer with Pratham in the first place. Then I'm going to transition into more of a research paper-type deal by discussing the problem of child illiteracy in India. After that, I'll be able to start my true personal account of what happened during the months of the Readathon, from June to October. I've decided that I'm probably going to incorporate my actual updates from my webpage into the paper as well, since that will help me tell my story better. Based on this outline, it seems like I have a lot to write about - hopefully this means I'll be able to write 25 pages without too much difficulty!
