Today we planned to meet a representative from a lawmaker's office at 8:30 AM on Chatterton Parkway. We waited for her for over an hour and she never showed up or called us. She later called Paul Feiner's office to inform him that she was sick and couldn't make it.
We were very upset about this for several reasons. First of all, we found it slightly insulting that she did not inform us about this beforehand and caused us to waste our time waiting. We were also disappointed that she called Paul instead of us because this gives the impression that we are unimportant.
Between yesterday's day off and this morning's bad start, we found it hard to get back to work and focus on our project. We realize that routine is so important in a job, and once you break the routine it is very hard to get back into it and to be productive.
Tomorrow we plan to edit our footage and begin planning hotel accommodations for our Albany trip.

Three developmentally disabled residents of a group home with Down Syndrome want to raise money to get a sidewalk built on Chatterton Parkway in Greenburgh, NY.
Guides
- Emily Kingsley (Our Sponser)
- Mr. Henry (Our Mentor)
- Mr. Leong (Our Case Manager)
People We Have Met
- Paul Feiner (Greenburgh Town Supervisor)
- Allyson Felix (Part-Time Consultant)
- Sgt. Gillis
- Greenburgh Town Engineers
- Nita Lowey (U.S. Congresswoman)
- Peter Feroe (Assistant to Nita)
- The 3 Musketeers - Jason Kingsley, Raymond Frost, Yaniv Gorodischer
- Lawrence Birnbach
- Vic Leviatin (former teacher at Woodlands High School)
Obstacles
- Some guy who works in an office at the Greenburgh Town Hall. He tries to discourage us by implying that we are not working hard enough and doesn't take us or this project seriously. It is very frustrating when people think that we are not accomplishing work just because we are interns and in high school. We face this obstacle with many other companies that we call up to support us, but we are determined to make this project happen and to make a difference.
Sidewalk Obstacles
- The road is very narrow and steep. The phone poles are too close to the road and it would cost extra money to move them. Moving the phone poles closer to the houses will most likely be dangerous because we do not understand the medical consequences of living closer to the power lines.
-Liabilities of the sidewalk being on private property.
