My Interview On My Experience

Yes, everyone has their stories and their tales and I have mine. Out of the plenty stories that I have experienced and lives through, my elementary experience was are still is, my most memorable and crucial story of my life. It all started like any other kid’s story back in elementary school: woke up, get dropped off, learned something new, get picked up, do homework, sleep, and repeat. For me, it was slightly different and when I mean different, I mean lonely. Once I entered class, everyone was wild and someone had to say something to talk about and for me, I didn’t have anyone to go to. Once I wanted to speak to someone, I didn’t know how to start a conversation with them because how shy I was, and I didn’t know what to say that would interest them or relate to what they were saying. Since class actually started, everyone had to step down and do what they’ve been told by a superior power, who could make or break our day in a matter of minutes. When it was time for recess, that's when everyone started to become who they are, through actions with and to others on the playground with little to no supervision by adults. I had no one to go to and no where to stay, so I kept walking around the playground until the bell rung. Then we had to get through class and went home to end the day. One day was different and changed my little childhood life. During recess, a group of kids decided to come up to me and talk to me, even offered to join

When I first found out about this assignment I was a little anxious because I didn 't know whom I would interview or how my request would be received. As I consider my options I thought it would be best to interview someone that could offer me some insight as to what it is like to be an elementary or junior high school counselor, which are the two age groups that I would most like to work with. With this in mind, I decided to interview one of my son 's past guidance counselors. This is a woman that I have admired since the first day that I met her. In talking with her I found her to be a very knowledgeable, caring, and open person. She has been in the helping profession for over twenty years and working as a guidance counselor since 1999.

I wasn't sure what to expect. While I had always been interested in the conditions of my society, I was a novice in the political arena. Never before had I given a speech in front of a group of people larger than those in a typical high school classroom, much less run for any kind of political office. In that first hour after my arrival, as I waded through a gym full of ASB presidents, state-level competitors in speech and debate, and seasoned MUN delegates, I

Experiences that have prepared me for this position are volunteering at the UNC Rex hospital and doing volunteer work at my church. Volunteering at UNC Rex has prepared me because it has helped me manage my time more wisely when it comes to big responsibilities like getting to the hospital on time.

Purpose: The purpose of this interview is to gain a deeper understanding on your experiences with education, both during your childhood and adult life. Specifically, I am interested in how your familial income has impacted your education success, your opinion on the varying levels of Illinois education funding, and your knowledge on how the U.S. government regulates and impacts education throughout the nation. This interview should be no longer than 40 minutes. Throughout the course of this interview I will be recording you and taking notes for the purpose of my sociology class; however, your privacy will be respected. All of the information you share with me will be kept private between myself and my teacher. In addition, your name will not be included in this transcript and my interview summary.

For the purpose of this paper, I decided to interview my cousin Amanda. She is a 35-year-old Caucasian woman. She grew up in the small town of Columbus, which is about 45 minutes south of Indianapolis. Columbus has a population of around 4,500 people. It was a small, safe, clean town that Amanda loved to grow up in. She now lives in Indianapolis and is the Red bull sales representative for the Midwest. However, what makes her interesting is that she is a 35-year-old woman who is not married or has any children. I wanted to interview her to see how she got to where she is today, and what role did her gender play throughout her life thus far.

My second interview was with a caucasian male, from Tacoma, Washington. He likes video games, has average grades, and is also a sophomore in high school. Many of his opinions were very similar to my first interviewee’s views. He strongly agrees a good classroom environment should be organized, and allow for intense and detailed conversation between peers. He also believes teachers should value each students input, and create plenty of time to work in groups. Great teachers should know and appreciate their subject, and understand where students come from. He thinks teachers should be technologically sound so they can connect with students in today’s time.

As with any teacher, Ms. Conway was short on time and I felt she was unable to give me the in-depth interview that I was hoping to produce. She was perplexed why we were including ELL students in our conversation about special education. I explained to her about our class conversation about the concerns that some ELL students were receiving IEP’s based on their language barrier and not a learning disability. She was surprised and confused how any ELL student could be given an IEP without going through the due process under IDEA that any other student would be required to complete.

Recently, I had taken the time to interview Mak. Her full name is Eunice Mak and is a young lady of 26 years living in San Francisco, California with her grandparents, parents, and brother. She graduated from San Francisco State University with a Bachelor of Science in Human Development. She currently works at Kaiser as a Pharmacy Technician.

During my second interview, I believe I was able to get the client to talk when she was so uncomfortable and nervous that she kept her answers short, my questions seemed to get her to open up fairly quickly. She seemed to like the advice she was given and hopefully it made a positive impact on her, or at least gave her the comfort of searching further in her options educationally. Overall I felt like the interview went pretty smoothly and I was happy with the feedback I received and with watching my interview afterwards replay and I was far less nervous this interview than the last. I believe that my first experience was a good way to test the waters and navigate my own expectations.

During this election cycle, America witnessed a plethora of pantsuits. Ranging from teal to lilac, speech after speech, debate after debate, Hillary Clinton––the Democratic Presidential Candidate––painted a picture of professionalism and composure in her pantsuit. After the primaries, her poise only seemed to double, not of her own accord, but because of her opponent’s (intentional or unintentional, who knows) attitude and mannerisms.

For my volunteer experience I chose to go to YMCA which stands for Young Men’s Christian Association. Their mission is to make a healthy body, mind and spirit through their Christian principles. Their main focus in on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The reason I chose YMCA is because I try to live a healthy lifestyle and as that is their mission at YMCA it will be interesting to see what I will learn when I volunteer. Before the experience I thought I would volunteer by fundraising for a cause they support or help provide services in the gym. I also thought I might work with customers in the front desk. I was hoping to work with the children in the sports teams to help coach and teach them more about the sport.

When I think of the word interview I think of it as a series of questions asked from one person to another to seek information. In my previous assessment we were asked to interview a fellow peer, on their personal experience of QIBT so far this year. We were not given any question, but made to think of our own. As we were interviewing our peer another peer was marking us on our overall ability to interview. This piece of reflective writing will be an explanation of what I thought my personal strengths and weaknesses were throughout my interview.

It is amusing that during the interview process, I hoped that my impression would be unique enough that it would linger in the interviewer’s mind. However, in a public setting, I attempt to be as inconspicuous as possible. Due to my desire to fit in during high school, I have constantly feared deviating from the norm. I continue to experience low self-esteem and seek approval from others. Another component of this third vector includes being emotionally independent. As I had mentioned above, each summer leader has been a source of inspiration. I have been inspired by Warren’s peculiar personality and actions to become liberated from the opinions and judgement of others. During ‘Murica Day, I was ashamed that my outfit was distinct from the norm and went through great lengths to fit in. I even requested another summer leader to accompany me to the SLD microwave; thus, I would not be the only person appearing overly patriotic. Being comfortable with being unconventional is a skill that must be rehearsed. Witnessing Warren wearing a Cheshire cat onesie at a popular tourist destination was inspiring yet embarrassing. The tourists took countless photos and whispered amongst one another; however, he continued, even posing with the tourists. I admire his ability to ignore other’s opinions and I strive to follow his footsteps by taking risks and caring less about the opinions of others.
