This project taught me a lot about myself. The most important thing that I learned is that I really enjoy long-form journalism. It seemed daunting to complete multiple interviews and write an article this long that covers this much material. However, it was an enjoyable challenge, and I am so happy that I chose to do this as my March Madness project. I also loved conducting interviews with these various experts. Lastly, I learned more about time management skills and how to organize such a large project (scheduling interviews, transcribing interview notes, outlining, drafting, and proofreading). I am excited to learn more about the publication process when I try to get this piece published.Â
