Getting to Know your International Contacts - Part 3

I have spent quite a bit of time attempting to get a response from some of the international contacts that were presented to us.  With the class coming to a close, I am sad to report that I have been unsuccessful in getting a response to any of the questions.  I guess that leads me to believe the passion of some professionals is not in helping those entering the field.  I must think on the positve end, however, and believe the timing is off.  I imagine that had this assignment occurred during the fall when colleges are in full session, the response may have been better.  In the summer, I imagine many professors are on vacation and doing minimal teaching, if any.  In retrospect, I should have tried to contact many different professionals, in different areas of the Early Childhood field.  Throughout the term, I only attempted to contact the same two professionals.
