**Model Project** - I have selected this as the model project because it is thorough, detailed, and specific. The biography of these people these students chose to interview was informative and engaging to read. The information includes WHY they chose to interview the person as well as QUOTES that the person said in past interviews regarding success and traveling their own path in life. In addition, the students include possible questions they might ask the person and offer an image of the person. In addition, at the bottom of the page the students include possible places to visit along their Road Trip - since they are traveling by RV across country to sit down and talk to these various leaders.
 * Ed Sheeran**
 * Our first stop would be in Portland, Oregon to see Ed Sheeran perform in front of thousands of people.**

We chose Ed Sheeran to interview because he is very inspiring. Ed is a new popular singer/songwriter who inspires people with his words. He mainly wrote love songs and about things people can relate to. Ed had been playing guitar since he was young and began writing songs in high school. Ed Sheeran was discovered by Jamie Foxx in Los Angeles. Sheeran was mostly discovered by doing a lot of shows and releasing a lot of EP’s. Ed’s first hit “The A Team” was a song about a homeless woman he saw when he performed at a homeless shelter. =====

Ed Sheeran was discovered by Jamie Foxx in Los Angeles. Sheeran was mostly discovered by doing a lot of shows and releasing a lot of EP’s. Ed explains that “There was never actually a moment where I was like, "This is my career now. I'm going to do this." It kind of all happened quite naturally and quite unexpectedly: the success to it. I'd say at which point I realized that my career... Obviously I did lots and lots of small gigs and never got paid, but that was a hobby. I started making a living out of it.” Ed Sheeran didn't go to college yet he is a role model to a lot of people. =====

=
Today, October 5th, 2012, Ed is performing in Portland, Oregon. I would probably stop at the Internation Rose Test Garden, and since Portland is so far away I would probably stop in a couple of other states. =====

If I had the opportunity to meet and ask Ed Sheeran I would ask how he feels about each song. I would also ask how long it takes him to take to write songs. I would also ask how his fame has affected his family and if his family was supportive.

**__ Barack OOObama __** Our second stop would be in Washington D.C. to meet with President Obama in the Oval Office to discuss his path to perform. Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a white mother and black father from Africa. He went to college at Columbia University in New York and graduated with a degree in Political Science. After graduating from Columbia he attended Harvard Law School and graduated Magna Cum Laude. He became the Illinois State Senator in 1996, as a Democrat, for one term. While in Illinois, he was also the Chairman of the Health and Human Services. In 2002, Obama joined the U.S Senate. In 2008, Barack Obama ran for the presidency against Hillary Clinton and John McCain, and won. Many people say that he raised the debt extremely high, but it was already 1.2 Trillion dollars when he took office. He is now running again, and is leading in the polls against Mitt Romney, but his future is still undetermined. I would want to interview Barack Obama because he is an extremely smart man that made a successful life out of nothing. Being the President of the United States of America is probably the hardest job in the world. I believe that he would help me learn a lot about the economy that I can’t possibly understand. Also, if I was nice I could probably learn so top secret stuff. He is a very well educated man with a lot to share about himself, becoming famous, and life in general. I would like to ask him if all the stress of being president was worth the worldwide fame.  "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." I like this quote because it shows that he is the kind of person that will do what he thinks is necessary.

Our third and final stop will in Beverly Hills to visit the Kardashian Mansion and meet some basketball players. Kim Kardashian is an inspiring person because she has done very well in marketing herself and her businesses. Kimberely Noel Kardashian was born October 21, 1980 in Beverly Hills, California. Her father was a lawyer who worked on the O.J Simpson trial, from the beginning her family was in the spotlight. After her father’s death his business was handed over to her and her siblings. "We grew up with privilege so we knew our standards were //high...[and] if we wanted to keep it, we had to work hard," she has said. They sold it and that// turned into a number of opportunities for Kim from wardrobe stylist to actress. She even stepped into the business world herself and formed Kimasprincess Productions, LLC, which has released three successful workout videos starring, of course, Kim Kardashian. In 2006, her and her two sisters opened a clothing boutique, DASH, which now has four locations in Calabasas, Melrose, Miami, and SoHo.
 * Kim Kardashian**

Kim Kardashian is known for her scandal but I think she should be known for her businesses and how she has overcome her bad reputation. "Your reputation is all that you have, and if people prejudge you over something that you did, than that kind of sticks with you a long time." Kardashian has succeeded without a college education and graduated Marymount High School in 1998. Today, she is starring on her families reality T.V show //Keeping Up with the Kardashians// and has made spinoff shows and in January 2013 //Kourtney and Kim Take Miami// will air. She also has appeared in many TV series as herself or another character. She has numerous perfumes and is the co-founder of //shoedazzle.com// and has launched a clothing line along with her sister at Sears. Also, with her sisters and family she made Kardashian Kolors a nail polish line and also a new makeup line called Khrome.

As of today, October 5, 2012 Kim Kardashian is filming //Kourtney and Kim Take Miami,// in Miami, Florida. If I were to interview her in Florida I would visit North and South Carolina, Virginia, and the Jersey shore to go in the ocean. I would ask her about her family now, how their fame affected them, and her future business plans. Overall, I think Kim Kardashian is an inspiring young woman who has overcome rumors and has made a very successful life for herself.
