Michael Stariak Interview

At just the age of three, she had experienced a full on war. Despite her young age, she remembers it all. “I was three, but from ages three to seven, that entire time we were trying to escape. We lived in many different places and houses, outside, in Croatia, and all these different places in Bosnia, until we finally came here. It was like, we spoke no English and we lived in one small, tiny apartment. We had nothing. We didn't own many clothes or anything.” Fortunately, when she was seven, her family had fled to America. Out of curiosity, who is she today? She goes by the name of Aldina Arnautovic and has the occupation of a Social Services Specialist. “I’m really happy with how far I’ve come and I’m in a good place after a hard, difficult time,” claims Aldina. So, how did she get to where she is today?

The survivors of September 9, 2001 will never be the same. While they may be emotionally scarred from the traumatic event, physical scars will also remain on their body. Bruno Dillinger describes that many evacuators lacked skin and hair, and that many evacuators were severely burnt. Despite all the mayhem and chaos, the people in the stairwell kept their wits with them. They did not panic; they were calm. Bruno Dillinger’s description of the first responders walking up the stairs was heartbreaking. He commented, “They were going up to their death. And I was walking down to live.” Despite the fear the firefighters and other responders felt, they rose to the occasion in order to save the lives of many others. The bravery the firefighters and

This past Thursday I had the opportunity to sit down and conduct a phone interview with Jordan Maleh. Jordan graduated from UConn in 2006 with a Bachelor’s in Sport Management and then his Master’s in Sport Management and Sociology in 2008. He currently works at the Big Ten Network in Chicago, Illinois as the Director of Digital and Consumer Marketing. As a graduating senior, this interview was very helpful to me because it gave me the chance to ask a professional in the sport industry, such as Jordan, questions about his experience at UConn and how he got his start in the sport industry and to where he is today.

In an interview with Rick Stroud, Bucs GM Jason Licht was not one bit shy when he pointed the finger at the Buccaneers veteran running back, Doug Martin. Why would he hold his tongue? Martin received a big contract extension, after coming in second in the league in rushing yards a few years back, to thank the Bucs, Martin got himself suspended for P.E.D.

After working under these horrendous conditions, including lack of sleep, lack of electricity to keep the newest technology machines working, shut-down elevators and air conditioning, and an unsanitary working environment, the remaining staff members at Memorial did what they could. The reason and quantity of the medications that were found in patients’ bodies were unquestionably incorrect with the justification by Dr. Pou that she was simply trying to reduce their physical suffering and relieve their anxiety. In this case, Dr. Pou’s situation was considered malpractice, because people argued that there were other ways to help these patients. Rodney Scott, one of the last patients to leave the hospital stated, “How can you say euthanasia is better than evacuation?..If they had vital signs, then get ‘em out. Let God make that decision,” (Fink, 28). It is anticipated that nurses will experience challenging working conditions, including an environment of fear, and too much responsibilities or things to focus on. To prevent faster burnout and secondary trauma, nurses will need sufficient rest periods, emotional support especially from the hospital facilities and

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.

Interview of Mr. Jamar Clavon at his criminal court hearing on 8/16/17 at 11:40am. Interview was not recorded. Privacy information provided verbally.

As the 9/11 attacks were happening millions of people’s eyes couldn't leave the t.v. screens they all thought only that it couldn’t be real. The assistant fire chief was talking with his men after he had his coffee when what he thought was a t.v. show came on but soon found out the terrorists hijacked a plane and crashed it. Many of the first responders were busy treating smoke inhalation when the first plane struck its target, but many others waited for their broken bones and bad burns to be treated. The emergency responders do these things every day, protect other people from getting hurt by these types of things.the noises around them was the hardest things to see happen what he heard was pain and death.

I decided to interview my aunt, Evert Landa, because she graduated from John Marshall High School which is located near Belmont Senior High the school I graduated from. I was curious to discover how similar our experiences were because she attended high school from 1996 – 2000 while I started high school a decade later 2010 – 2014. Both schools are located in a predominantly Hispanic and Latino community while also being diverse. However, as I interviewed her, the experience she had in high school was completely different from the one I had in high school; moreover, we also compared the experience that her daughter is having in high school to ours. The school system has undergone changes in terms of segregation, the way teachers lecture, and

Coming up with questions on what to ask my teacher back home in California was a complicated thing for me to do. Scott Dufrense, one of my teachers back home, just recently received his teaching job. He was just starting his 3rd year as a math teacher while I had just finished my last year in high school. Lutheran High School wasn’t a well-populated school. The school had nearly 500 students attending, hence the reason it was so unchallenging for him to be socially compatible with everyone. He connected with the staff right instantly. However, when I interviewed him through FaceTime, I did not jump straight to the questions, we began conversing about what he did when he first started college and what helped him in becoming such a successful

As stress and work took their toll on rescue personnel, crisis intervention on their behalf became necessary. When rescue workers switched from saving lives to retrieving bodies and body parts, separate staff were provided to offer stress management services. More than 12,000 volunteer and professional rescue personnel were involved in the rescue operation. Compassion Center staff also recognized that many media representatives were becoming secondary victims experiencing long work hours, competing intensely for stories, and undergoing prolonged exposure to the bomb site, shattered survivors, and stressed rescuers.

This interview was conducted with Wes Jensen the current principal of Mountain View Middle School. He has been the principal at his current school for two years, and was vice principal of the Blackfoot High School for two years. Before he became an administrator he was a classroom teacher for seven years, giving him 11 years of experience in education. The school has a very diverse population comprised of many different ethnicities including Native American, Hispanic, and Caucasian. The economic situations range from wealthy to highly impoverished. As the principal of this school he is a very professional man who holds high expectations for his staff.

A new Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) student is dispatched to her first emotionally memorable call. The first dispatch comes thorough as an unresponsive, 30-year-old female, but escalates to a cardiac arrest caused by a heroin overdose. When the crew of two EMTs and one paramedic arrives on scene, the new EMT stands in the doorway, staring at the patient. Her body was stiff from the rigor mortis, her arms and fingers curled in as though she was trying to get warm. Her skin was blue like she had been swimming in ice water for hours. On the day before Thanksgiving in 2016, this woman was found on her bathroom, dead too long to be saved by anyone. This is still the worst call I have ever been on and I will always remember every

Karishma Turakhia is a 33 year old part time waitress and full time PIMA dental hygiene student. Ms. Turakhia was selected for this interview because of her cultural background in regards to animals. Coming from and Indian heritage, lifetime vegetarian, and non-owner of animals her views of animal cruelty are different. In her culture high importance is placed on the cow and religious beliefs which accounts for her vegetarian lifestyle. However, she has never placed importance on animals especially of those of household pets. Growing up most Indians never partake in owning the usual dog of cat, maybe a fish, but never anything with fur. Ms. Turakhia has never cared for household pets because of their hygiene issue, but in regards to animal
