the fruitvale district

So today we went to the fruitvale district to interview people about aesthetics. On tuesday we went to Walnut Creek and did the same interview there. to me it seems easier to interview people in Walnut Creek. it was easier because people were more willing to be interviewed and they didn't reject you as much. i know that when your doing interviews there will be rejections but it seems like the people in the fruitvale district didn't want to do the interviews... Overall i thought that it was way more harder to interview the people in the fruitvale district. At first i was thinking that" okay this is our community they're gonna show us some love and let us interview us, they're gonna be coo" but walnut creek was way more willing, which i didn't think they would be when i first went out there on tuesday.

One positive thing that i liked about going to fruitvale was that i grew up around there and t was good to come back and see what was the same and what was different. Another thing was that not all the people were rude and dismissive, there was this librarian who mr and my group interviewed and he was hella nice!!! i mean he was really willing to help us with our project. i think he was he only interview that i liked. We talked about graffiti and the difference between tagging and graffiti. it was really coo.
The negative things about fruitvale was that there were a lot of rude people. maybe they were too busy or something but they could have been a little but more nicer than they were. there was this bus driver lady who me and m group were trying to interview, and she was soooooooo RUDE!!! i mean we asked very nicely if we could have a interview with her and she was like" some kids already asked me." and i was like okay thats understandable so i said well these are way different questions, she asked what were the questions about, we told her and she was like " well those other kids asked me the same things." i thought wow i know that our questions were way different from the other group members. I thought if she didn't want to do the interview she could have just said so, she didn't have to all rude.
What i learned about the fruitvale district and the whole project in general is that, in life there will be people who reject you. Rather it's a job, dating, or just asking for something you want. All that we can do as people are respect it and try not to get all butt hurt(take it personal) about it. There will be other opportunities , and maybe the next time it will be better than the first.
