Interview With Ann Malkani

A previous leader of mine once told me that a good man learns from his mistakes, but a great man learns from the mistakes of others. I would like to add to that by saying I do believe you should learn from others, but I also think what makes a great man is teaching others about the mistakes you have made. God knows I have made plenty of mistakes in my career and life, but I have learned from each one of those mistakes, and that is what has made me the man I have become today.

This quote will continue to inspire me in life, no matter where I end up. Due to my career choice, it is vital that I understand who I am and to never let anyone sway that. If I were to allow people the opportunity to impact and change who I am, I would not be able to accomplish any of my dreams. Although, I have chosen this quote, I will not forget any of the others that helped build me into who I am to become.

When one reads Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s “The Interview”, it is very clear how gender roles are predominate within the family that is portrayed. Using this family as an extension to represent all of India, Jhabvala gives us some insight into the daily lives led over there. The story is told through the eyes of an upper-class man who is completely dependent upon his family, specifically his brother and the women in the house. This essay will examine the male and female roles that are presented in this short story, how they parallel each other, and the deeper meanings hidden within the text.

It is unconceivable the very few people (out of the countless people on this earth) I have met through my journey of becoming a nurse; I’ve been fortunate enough to have crossed paths with a handful of individuals who have advanced my personal growth (till this day none know how they assisted in this process). A unique individual Ms. Grant removed the shades from my eyes. She gave me the power to believe in me, she provided me with tools necessary to meet my true self. With her instruction I emerged into the woman I am today. A brilliant Professor who let me in on a little secret: the impossible is possible. A fascinating Co-worker who showed me how not to take no for an answer. He taught me the meaning of when one door closes one must gain access to a window. An incredible boss, Mrs. Logan she encouraged me to see beyond the horizon. It was this spectacular person who showed me how not to get distracted by the

The patience, compassion and encouragement of one person improved my family’s last years with its patriarch in countless ways. It was this improvement that inspired me to pursue a career as an

Even though we ended up losing that day, we became closer as a team and my positivity became contagious. Another life lesson that Jimmy Dean's quote inscribes is that instead of viewing my mistakes (and hardships) as negative failures, I must regard them as positive learning experiences. This has been applied to many instances throughout my teenage years. When I was training for my job at Jumpstreet, I made several mistakes during the first week. I pressed the wrong keys on the register and told our guests incorrect prices. Instead of becoming dispirited, I told myself, "Well, now I'll never make that mistake again!" and I quickly learned the correct keys and prices. Another life lesson this quote is applicable to is that I must work hard and do whatever it takes to achieve my dreams and goals. Since my childhood, I have been exceptionally determined. I am invariably on time, extremely persistent, and I have never gotten any grade other than an A in all of the twelve years I've been in school. I went to several interviews, practiced driving at least three times a week, and continued to earn straight A's at the same time. The day I turned 16, I got my driver's

On September of 2016, I did an oral interview with Vanna Moore about her military past and Vanna’s ties to Texas. Over the whole interview I asked her questions about her experience in Afghanistan and along the way I asked her questions about Texas. To the best of my knowledge Vanna answered “who are these people, these Texans”, what do Texans tell us about America, and what she thought of Texas. We talked about how her military experience shaped her conceptions of Texas. In a setting such as this one and her experiences combined she had moments where she seemed more comfortable and opened, and other moments that were difficult to get through. After this oral interview experience I feel as though I know how I could use oral histories in my classroom.

Donald was asked what life advise would you pass along to your grandchildren? “ Never regret anything you do while your young, lifes to short, life gets better in one’s perception as one ages, and time will fly by in the blink of an eye” said Donald. Donald also said ‘By far, for me, the most significant regret I have now is wasting time”.

My process recording was in a group meeting with Alana Holden at The American Heart Association of Hampton Roads. It was Saturday April 25, 2015 in the Go Red for Women Passion Committee meeting. The committee meeting involved survivors of heart attacks and strokes, as well as community members and different sponsors dedicated to the American Heart Association’s cause.

If I were to leave one quote as my enduring legacy, it would be “The only person responsible for your success and failures is yourself.”. The quote’s inherent explicit message is that a person is responsible for what happens to them. This message is intended to encourage people to take accountability and responsibility for their actions’ results. On the other hand, an essential implicit motivation of the quote is to counter the inclination of people currently to blame everyone but themselves when their plans go awry. Furthermore, another implicit message of the quote is people need to become self-reliant. In today’s intricate and constantly fluctuating world, people are becoming more and more dependent on others while they fail to take liability

Human beings make mistakes; sometimes they learn from their first mistake, sometimes they learn after

“The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better.”

By not dwelling on our past, we can learn from our mistakes to grow as a human, in a way it unites our community. Through reliance we can learn from our past to grow our community in the spirit of a hopeful future by being compassionate and selfless.

Angelou she said “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said; people will forget you did; but There is a time that everyone feels like that. There is one woman that makes a quote it was Maya people will never forget how than feel. I think that is true because people will forget what we do but will not forget how we made them feel. She had to have a bad background because that is a bad thing or some time it can be a good thing. I like this quote because IT REAL THERE IS NO ONE WHO NEVER FEEL LIKE THAT IN THERE LIFE. Will let’s see how Mrs. Jones change Roger life. I hope you like it.
