I struggled with what I was going to do for the "going public" assignment. I am disappointing uninvolved in the community, and upon the assigning of this project I began to panic. However, I decided to engage with a public that I have consciously avoided. I am a Type 1 diabetic, and I have always choose to avoid being a part of any group associated with the disease. It is a way I limit its intrusion on my life. Many groups are active in spreading information and providing a outlet for those with diabetes to engage in. I hope to speak to some younger individuals who suffer from the disease, and tell them of my experiences and how I dealt with it in my youth. I am currently in contact with the hospital, and hope to arrange something in the next week.
For the Montana Rhetoric project, we seem to be working towards a focus on the "Americanization" of cultures in Montana. In particular, we hope to focus on American Indian tribes, and how many were stripped of their cultures and languages. I am in a group with Eric and Peter.
