Self Assesment

All week I have been having troubles trying to get in contact with Ms. Claudia Dezak, Head of the Foreign Language Department in the Washington DC public school system. I was told she has all the answers to my question when trying to figure out why is the foreing languages not flourishing in the DC public school systems. I have a list of questions pertaining to this topic that I need to have answered before it is our time to present. Earlier during the week, I believe I had to make at least eight calls just to get in contact with Ms. Dezak and then she did not have time to entertain my questions. I must say she is a very nice women with a sweet attitude but by her eagerness to end our conversation I could also tell she was very busy. Fortunately, the following week I receive a call from the Mayor's office of Employment and Services. Ms Elba Garciez from Washington DC, member of the foreign language department in DC public school systems allowed me to give her an interview covering the issues pertaining to our group project. She quickly answered my questions and was actually expecting for more. I email the information received from the interview to my group-mate and she posted it on our power point. I was the last one to hand in my information but I think my persistence in helping the the group along the way made up for it. This is the final week and we are doing pretty well as a group. We scored a 93 on our group project presentation, but I feel we did much better than the previous groups.
