Today i found 8 interesting facts dealing with my topic, they are:

· 80% of all hair donations are children
· wigs cost 3,000 to 6,000; Locks of Loves wigs are free
· almost 900 kids received hair from LOL nationwide
· majority of kids who receive hair had hair loss from; alopecia areata( skin disease, hair loss on scalp and body), cancer, severe burns, or other problems
· LOL has recipients in all 50 states, working on Canada
· Helped over 2,000 kids
· in the US, 2007 about 10,400 children under 15 were diagnosed with cancer
· on average every 1 in 2 children develop cancer for each year for every 10,000 kids in the US

i am currently working on my proposal and looking for more websites to add to my bibliography.......

Today i am working on my list for my questions and i am trying to get my sites in MLA format.

today mrs. savido was helping me come up with my essential and foundation questions. some of the questions we came up with are:
*how helpful is locks of love?
*What is locks of love?
*what is the purpose of locks of love?

Here is my collage.....

today i am trying to come up with my essential question. and then i have to come up with my foundation question. but i have no idea what my question should be.............

Today I was finding more websites that could be useful for my topic. And then I was working on my webliography by making summaries for my websites and listing how they could be useful and what was good about those sites. When I was on the Locks of Love website I was reading the different causes of hair loss. And there are alot, but there was one inparticular that I thought was very interesting. It is a disease called Trichotillomania and it is when people have the urge to pull out hair from their scalp or other parts of the body. I think it is interesting because I had no idea that this was actually a disorder, and I don't undestand how someone could get the urge to hurt theirself by pulling out their own hair.

today i was finshing finding and defining key terms, and trying to find good useful websites to put on my webliography.

I have finally decided what i am going to do for my project. i am going to ask a couple of salons to ask people to donate hair to locks of love. And i am also going to collect money from my school and church to raise money for locks of love. but i dont know what my essential question is going to be.

I know i want to do my project with locks of love, but i am still not sure what i actually want to do with that topic. i have to look more into it to see if i can do more than just donate hair.

well since i probably wouldn't be able to donate 10 inches of my hair mrs. savido suggests that i pick a new topic. so.....i was thinking about a food or clothing drive. i could donate to the homeless shelter, or the red cross.

I am pretty sure that I want to do my grad project with locks of love. But Im not sure how I would go about doing this. I could put up flyers in the school and in my neighborhood, and i could also go into salons and ask them to help me get peolple to donate hair.

I have some possibilities for my project, like making my career plan for the future, but I dont think that that would be a interesting topic. What i would like to do is somehow come up with a project that will require me to donate something to the community.

I am not sure what I want to do for my project yet, but I do have an interest in fashion, and the cosmetology business. I want to do something that involves one of these topics and I want my project to help out someone in some way.
