So today was a sign out day I went home to check my email to see if anyone emailed me back but no one did. :( I dont think Ms Simon will get back to me on time she's probably too busy. That makes me sad because her insite would have been great looks like its time for plan B which is an awesome website i got calledARCHITIZER
http://www.architizer.com/en_us/
"Architizer is a new way for architects to interact, show their work, and find clients. It is an open community created by architects for architects. One architectural project has dozens of contributors, from the intern who made the conceptual models to the construction administrator. A project on Architizer links all members of the architectural community." that is the decription from their website
My name is Erica Johnson I am a High School senior. My school offers a program called W.I.S.E. in which you can take a half a year of regular English than instead of continuing with that go off and pick a topic in which you are interested in and find it worth persuing further interest. I want to become an Architect. I honestly didn't know much about the requirements are and what it takes to be one so this is my research on how to get the best options for becoming an Architect in this modern job world.

Journal 85 (May 4th)
Today was a day of kind of relaxed research I was planning to sign out but my friends needed some girl talk after school so I couldn't leave. So i decided to go to the media center and do some here and there research. I decided to look up the contact which my sister was telling me to email Randy Simons. This is someone my sister met in college's mother. I was kind of blowing it off just say sure I'll email her its okay I got it and never did. Recently i met her daughter Lauren and she was a very cool very nice girl so I said I'll email her mom and just look her up. OH MY LORD this woman is amazing. I found her website through the email address my sister gave me and dear lord this is probably the most amazing contact I could have ever looked for.
She has worked with MTV, Pepsi, Bank of America and so many more impressive people I can't wait to get some of her answers back she's really really really important.

What would consider being the most important step you took in becoming an Architect?
What was the Licensing process like for you?
What college program did you go to? What would you say was your favorite part your college experience and your least enjoyable part?
Was there anyone who you would say had a large effect on you and on the journey you took to be where you are today?
If you could go back and change something about your experiences and your career what would that be?
How do you get work? Do people come to you and ask for designs or do you submit them to people or companies?
What would you say is the most important part of being an Architect? What would be the most gratifying?
I’ve heard that Architecture is a very difficult and hard study to major in, did you find that you were stressed and working a lot of your college experience?
What would you say is the key to being successful in this field?
