My Life Interview Analysis

Based on his first impression, Sydney was quite intimidated by him. After they got to know each other, they ended up becoming very close friends. One aspect that makes Mac so interesting is how he changed. When he was younger, he was overweight and unhealthy. According to Layla he “Lost thirty pounds, for starters. And when he started eating better, his skin cleared up” (132). Another example is Mac’s relationship with Sydney. He makes Sydney feel so loved and cared for that she starts spending more and more time with him and less and less time with her real family. My final example is how determined he is to get a good education. He’s a really smart kid and wants to study math and science but his family wants to hand the family business down to him. His persistence and determination to go to school makes him an engaging individual.

I scored the highest in category nine, which shows that I take personal relationships and my own enjoyment and health into consideration first and foremost. This absolutely makes sense because without taking care of you and nurturing relationships it’s hard to give the best of yourself at work if you are not happy in everyday life. Also, I believe having positive relationships outside of work makes it easier to have them inside as well. Treating people with the upmost respect is one of the most important qualities someone can possess.

For this assignment, we had to interview a person who had known us our whole life and interview them about their perception of one versus what one thinks about themselves. From our first day to our last, our personalities change so this was a difficult assignment. For my interview, I interviewed my mom. I was a little worried about this at first considering my mom was not around as much as when I was a child, but I went with it.

Coming to Calvin as a shelter child that I still am today. My eyes were open to a lot of different things that I never heard of at all. Living here in Grand Rapids I didn’t think I was going to come to school here at all. But here I am here for the next four years trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, trying to find my American dream. Through my research I interviewed 4 peers, 3 adults my parents age, and 2 adults my grandparents generation. After each interview I asked them their demographics of who they are in the work force to get a better background of their story. I listened to the interview a few timed to gather as much information on what the interviewer

My life has been a crazy roller coaster with many events that have affected my life all in different ways. There have been times where my life has been at its highest peak in the world then it falls down, right into a deep valley. From the time my lovable younger sister came into my life to when my grandpa had a near death experience, I have learned many valuable lessons through the rough times as well as the more happy times. When I was a young girl, my mom had always told me the same thing over and over again. I never really thought about how a few words would have a deep effect on me in a short amount of time.

The small, ethnically decorated room was filled with genuine laughter, echoing through the hallway. It was the first thing I heard when I entered the room. A loud group of friends sat on the dusty, brown couch in the middle of the room. The studs on their distressed jeans reflected the ceiling light that shined into my eyes. The scent of the warm, Turkish coffee they were drinking lingered across the room. Dozens of motivational posters covered the walls. There was a Moroccan-inspired gold and black trim that hung along the ceiling. I heard the mellow beat of a tabla, which is a popular musical instrument all across the Middle East and South Asia. I was introduced to Tamara, who worked at the front desk of the Middle Eastern Student Center

Over the course of this semester, we have talked about many different topics that have been eye opening and taught me a lot about what I’ll have to look forward to. Stocks, tax returns, loans... etc are all things that affect adulthood and are things that everyone should be aware of. Because of this, I now recognize my current financial strengths and weaknesses and have created plans/goals for myself in the future to maintain a healthy financial state.

As a very small child I don’t remember too much, but the things that I do remember were seen through a child’s eyes that has made me the person that I am today and I will always have those memory’s with me until my last breath on this earth. In this essay I intend to show how my childhood and adult life to this point has influenced my life, my journey. By utilizing the adult development theories from this class I also intend on showing how they relate to my Life experiences and where I am today as an Adult student.

Alan and I own a 5 acre historically listed property that has a very interesting history. Purchased in 2002 for $147,000. I paid a deposit of $75,000 upfront but Alan was unable to get finance so I co-signed a mortgage for the rest. The agreement was that I would not have anything to do with the restoration as Alan was the handyman and I am just not into that kind of thing. It all went well at first but after a while, Alan lost interest and now there are over 7 major jobs that Alan had started and not finished.

My mother’s important goals that filled our household after my father died included keeping our family out of poverty and for her children to obtain a high school education. My life’s path and choices had some correlations and parallels to the writings of Weaver, Tan, and Malcolm X. To venture back to a time that I have not thought about in years was difficult. The traditions discussed in this paper include hard work by intimidation and fear, poverty and the need to work, and gender discrimination. The traditions of my past did not become my future. The traditions my husband and I made for our family come from a better understanding of where we have been, the poverty we lived through, and the importance of education to a successful life.

One's dream and aspirations to supersede in life must be stronger and greater than limitations set forth by others. The experience that were bestowed to me during my short life has elevated me to the woman I am today. Please walk with me as I give you the opportunity to see the world from my eyes:

I hope you’re having a great day. I’ve been meaning to mention a few things to you for a while now, but I can’t bring myself to say it in person. I hope this will do. In a way, I don’t think therapy is working for me. Unfortunately I feel like it’s making things worst. I’ll try to explain my thought process, but it might be hard to understand what I’m trying to say and I apologize for that in advance.

Anxiously sitting in a small room with the sound of a baby crying in the room next door was an eighteen-year-old girl pondering why she was still receiving checkups every six months. She thought she had been relatively healthy and didn’t understand why she had to keep coming. There suddenly walks in the Physician telling her for the first time about the disease that had been kept from her for eighteen years. That eighteen-year-old girl had been me. I was confused as ever on how I even got this disease and why it had to happen to me. Angrily I ran out of the room and started to cry because I thought my life was over. I thought I would never have children let alone find someone to love me with this disease. As I continued with my routine

Thump, thump. I could vividly hear my heart pound through my chest every time the thought entered my mind. My interview for Sole Hope’s vice president would take place during lunch. Evidently, I prepared and thoroughly developed possible responses to questions that might occur during my consultation. However, the other applicants intimidated me and I feared my rudimentary personality would not be efficacious in steering me towards my ambition. Throughout the whole school rotation I dreaded and anticipated for the lunch hour. I attempted to focus fully in class; to forget the thought. This only helped me in thinking about it even more and not being able to be attentive in class. Finally, regardless of my hoping, the period came where I would hold my interview.

This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school.
