My interviewee was my mom. I chose to interview her because she lived in many different places. My mom’s name is Meredith Adams, her maiden name was Porcelli. Our interview went well, I knew a lot about my mom already because she talks a lot, but I learned some new things about her. It was still really fun to interview my mom.
My mom is forty years old and what really surprised me was how much technology has changed in forty years and how much society has changed because of it. When my mom was growing up, if you left the house, nobody could contact you until you got back. There were no answering machines or caller ID. There was another question I asked my mom that surprised me. In high school, or any grade, you think you have found your best friends for life, you think you are going to stay in touch with everyone after you graduate. My mom said she only has about five friends from high school that she’s still in contact with, but doesn’t routinely talk to any of them. She keeps in touch with them through Facebook. I thought this was funny because people always think they are going to be best friends with their friends forever.
My mom has always taught me many different things about life, but during the interview she said to have the difficult talks like having kids, saving money, etc. before the marriage. I found that odd because the way I see it is that the big, difficult talks after the wedding. I feel like it is weird to talk about having kids before getting married. She said it was important for you and your significant other to be on the same page always. Now I see why that is not a good idea because you could disagree with your significant other about something big after the wedding and ruin the marriage. That would be horrible if you both disagree with each other about major things after the wedding and have to divorce. That would be a waste of a wedding. My mom and dad agree with each other on most things and compromise on something if they both don’t agree on something. They have been happily married for eighteen years.
My favorite question and answer from my interviewee was “What was your favorite place you lived?” I liked this question because she moved many different times. She packed her
I interviewed Ashley Porras, a Licensed Vocational Nurse at Sharp Rees Stealy. She gave me background information of how she got into the healthcare system, great advice and what she does on a daily basis. The reason I chose Ashley as the person to interview was because I got the chance to spend the day with her at work and I loved it. I found it interesting what she did and got the opportunity to learn more about her, her occupation and where she see’s herself in the future. Someday, I would be an LVN and gradually get higher in the healthcare field like she is doing now.
I interviewed my stepfather, Michael Roy Garcia, because he has played a very important role in my life for a very long time. He has raised me since I was very young and brought me up as the young man that I am today. I thought it would be interesting to learn a little bit more about his younger years and how he lived when he was my age. I interviewed him on the night of September 24th for about 40 minutes in our living room. Some of the most interesting aspects of the interview were when my stepfather described his high school experience, his family life, and the community that he lived in.
While interviewing the social worker I choose I found out some really interesting and useful information. I not only found out things that strictly involved her and her life as a social worker but I also learned a lot for my future career in social work
The first person that I interviewed was my girlfriend, Amarise Christine Morales. Amarise was born in Tulare, Ca, but has lived in Fresno, Ca most of her life. Her
I interviewed Durward “Durk” Lynch he is in my field of interest where I want to work as one day. He is a Nurse Practitioner at the Vanden Bosh Clinic and at the College Clinic. He gave information on his background and what drove him to be a Nurse Practitioner (NP). He really has had a lot of experience, as I will explain to you what he has shared.
I interviewed my wife, Jael Dimich. I choose her because she left a high paying job to go back to school to become a nurse. She wanted to become a nurse after traveling for three months in Argentina and realizing there are people that continue to be suppressed by their economic background and social opportunities. That experience inspired in her the desire to help people in her career.
I enjoyed doing the interview, mainly because I love to learn about people. It felt a little strange to interview a friend of my daughter, especially knowing I could not share anything with my daughter due to confidentiality. Even though I have a house full of teenagers on most days and we talk I was still unsure how this interview would workout. I felt the interview went great and we were both relaxed and open with one
I interview my next door neighbor Mrs. Ann Wilson. Mama Wilson is what the neighborhood calls her. Mrs. Wilson favorite thing to say is “Live life for you or you’ll regret it in the long run.” She always looks out for others and wouldn’t mind giving her last to whoever needs it. Mrs. Wilson is a 67-year-old African American born in New Orleans, LA but lives in Prentiss, MS has 3 kids with her husband Lorenzo, who is 70 years old. Mrs. Ann is a stay at home wife while Mr. Lorenzo is a retired Veteran.

Heather was born in the wood county hospital. She was born on April 21st 1982. Her parents names were are Regina for her mother and Ronnie for her father.

I chose my friend, Rheanna Lynn Esparza, as my interviewee for my cultural interview. While I was interviewing Rheanna, I used the same questions I answered about myself during my cultural diorama presentation. During the interview, I was able to grasp a better understanding of Rheannas culture while allowing her to develop a better understanding of her own culture and family history.
From this interview I was also able to talk with two people my mother and with Lisa. Lisa grew up with my family
For my oral history project, I decided to interview my mother. I am pretty close with my mom, as we talk daily, and I am comfortable often to seek advice from her. A challenge that I faced was trying to find an appropriate date and time for the interview. My mom works six days a week, and I am often preoccupied with classes and school work. Another challenge was my mom’s hesitation with going into too much detail about her experiences. In addition, it was difficult to interview another family member such as a relative because I was not particularly close with my uncles or aunts, nor were any of them easy to contact due to variations in time zones. Furthermore, arguably one of my largest reason why I choose to interview my mom was because I never had taken the time or initiative to ask about my mom’s past. I had only knew of some general aspects, but never asked too much into detail. The oral history project was a perfect opportunity to dwell deeper into my family’s history and how they came to America.
This interview process really taught me how to listen to and accept the viewpoints of other people who are not necessarily from the same background that I am from. I spoke to one person that I have known for years, and another person who I never spoke with prior to the interview. My first contact was Ms. Tessy Hunt, a direct support counselor for individuals with special needs. The people who Tessy serve, face challenges that not everyone is equipped to support. I chose to interview Ms. Hunt because she provides actual services for a group of individuals who are not allowed the same opportunities and same rights that many of us take for granted. I have known Tessy for several years, and I know that her line
Men and women should get to know one another completely before deciding to get married. Important issues such as religion, finances, career, and whether or not to have children should be discussed so that the couple can learn each other’s views regarding the
