Caption: Tall VS Short by Sarah Awad and Raniqua Osborne

Caption: Each and every day there is a new struggle or challenge for us to face and to overcome. Speaking for myself, being 5 feet off the ground is one of the toughest struggles I go through on a daily basis.
Me and my partner, Raniqua, asked people of different heights a simple questions, "What is one of your struggles with being tall/short?" Here are some of their responses.

Caption: So, from the information we collected, here's what we came up with.
Struggles With Being Short:
- not being able to reach into the laundry
- not being able to reach things on higher surfaces
- not being able to reach things from other people

Caption: I asked Raniqua (10) what it's like to be average height since she's 5'5, which isn't considered being short nor tall. Her response was "It's pretty cool. I'm able to reach a lot of things and I'm still able to wear heels without looking like a giant"

Caption: We did not need to do any research with this project, therefore we didn't get information from the internet. We walked around the school and asked random people of different heights the same question I mentioned in the beginning. This was all the information we needed. Also, all pictures were taken by us personally.
