I'm falling behind...Help!

In our third blog we're supposed to be writing about our project and how we plan to research it. Unfortunately, I may be the only one in the class who has no idea what to do. Digital Publishing was much easier: we submitted an idea/topic and were told to proceed. I've had a lot of different ideas about what I'd like to research, but most are interesting only to me and not to the rest of the population. My top idea was to attend tryouts for the Perry Hall High School Boy's Varsity baseball team, and follow the team throughout the season, interviewing players, parents, and coaches. I also thought about a story on automobile mechanics or body shop workers. My latest ideas included a story on those in Alcoholics Anonymous as well as a feature story on the homeless in Baltimore City and County. Professor Lieb pointed out the privacy issues that come along with these topics, and suggested going to the opposite end of the spectrum and researching those who do volunteer work themselves. I personally don'tknow anyone who volunteers their time to help others, but it seems like a good story. So that's where I'm at...if anyone is reading these blogs and has any ideas or suggestions for me please leave a comment! Thanks!
