PROPOSAL FORM.

This week we had a meeting with Mr Omar Caruana regarding the thesis, explaining about a form that we must complete by the 31st of May 2017.  Mr Cuarana also explained that instead of coming up with the title next year, we will be doing it this year.   This will allow us more time to research and design.

We have already had some lessons guiding us as to what topic we would like to continue with. Some students have kept the same topic because they felt that it’s an interesting subject while others have changed it completely because they didn’t find enough resources or the topic didn’t interest them.

My title of my dissertation is
“The impact of interior design on the emotional wellbeing of children as applied to local orphanages.”
I have kept this title because the topic interests me and I feel that in Malta there are many orphanages that need to be improved upon for the health and wellbeing of these children.  Although while I was interviewing and seeing local orphanages there are many things that are being done due to more resources, however there is always room for improvement. 

While I was visiting these homes, the person caring for these orphanages offered me a job as a career.  This will assist me greatly with my thesis.  What could be better than getting directly involved in what would be needed to create a better environment.  Observing from the outside would be impossible.  Strangers would not be allowed to observe or take part in any proposed changes to ensure the security of the children.

Mr Caruana told us that we should be familiar with the subject we are choosing.  Although I am not familiar with orphan’s issues, I am passionate about this topic.   I have discussed this topic with my lecturer, asking for her guidance and she agrees that it is an interesting topic to continue on.

As my lecturer, I have chosen Vanessa Pace O’Shea. I chose her because I enjoy working with her. She makes me feel comfortable and confident.  Possibly because I have had many assignments with her and I know how she works.  

I have not yet completed the form as I’m still concern about the title. Although I know that it’s a topic I will enjoy doing.
