What attracted you to this project?
It was very interesting and I think that I would like to do it personally (we watched a video about it in class).
What hobbies and interests do you have? My hobbies are baseball. My interests are baseball and books and a little video games.
What image do you have of pioneer living?
I think that it would be very hard to do. I don't know if I could handle it.
What's the most challenging thing you and your family (or group) have experienced?
I haven't done it yet. If I did, I'd have to say that the whole idea of not being able to take a shower or anything would probably be the hardest.
If you were chosen what do you think you would most miss about modern life?
The technology, the showers, friends, food.
What qualities do you and your family have that make you suited to this experience?
I think that my family would have determination.
What skills do you have that may help you?
I can throw a baseball well, so, maybe I could kill rabbits or something for my family to eat.
What would you hope to get out of the experience?
To not become dependent on modern things to get me through hard times.
What do you think will be the most difficult challenge of pioneer life?
Getting through the winter.
What skills would you like to learn from the experience?
I would like to learn how to take care of animals.
We'd like you to tell us:
What interests you about this project?
Nothing much, except about maybe chopping hay and taking care of the animals.
Do you have any concerns about your participation?
Nope.
How much do you know about your family history -- do you have pioneer roots?
We are pioneers from Tennessee, I THINK. I'm not positive!
How did you hear about Frontier House?
Mr. Bergquist showed it to us. I thought that it looked very challenging, but maybe fun, as well.
