Statement of Intent

1. Capstone Project Statement of Intent:

a)     Identify the goals of the project.
My goals are to inform children and adults about the emotional experience of children who are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
b)     Why is it important and why should we care?
In order to better understand the struggles of a person with chronic illness, you have to know how they feel about their issues. This is especially true when it comes to children, because they are often largely driven by emotion. To prevent prejudice from adults and other children in their environment, I’m going to write a children’s book detailing the experience of a child with type 1 diabetes.
c)      How do these goals fit with your career objectives?
I’m an artist, and I seek to express different facets of the human experience.
d)     How does your project give back to society?
It can improve understanding of others in society and allows greater knowledge of type 1 diabetes in children.
e)     Address the Richland triple bottom line.
