Personal Narrative: An Interview With A Girl

I had the opportunity to interview a colleague of mine Brenda, who is a teacher in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing department at our school. Brenda herself is Deaf and was raised by Deaf parents, which benefited her greatly. She began at the Institute for the Deaf and Blind, now known as Montana School for the Deaf and Blind, from preschool to tenth grade. Brenda told me that by the time she had become a tenth grader the school district in Montana was more willing to accept a student who was Deaf. Before this time without the proper legislation like the IDEA law, school districts did not have provide free and appropriate education. Even though she was permitted to attend a mainstream high school, she only took elective type classes. She said that

was lucky enough to have a childhood that was fairly even-keeled – I celebrated almost as much as I grieved, and laughed as much as I cried. Even though I entered into the adult world with a balanced upbringing, I still couldn’t help but to feel that I did not develop a voice properly due to one significant event.

I interviewed Ms. Ashley Rogers. She told me that her mother is a person that has had the most impact in her life. Her mother was successful in her career and as a mother. She showed her how to be an upstanding citizen and a good person. She showed her how to be a leader to others when needed and support those who need it as well. She supported her through every career change or decision she made in school. The most important decisions she makes as the leader of her organization is that working with her department chair and other teachers it forces her to make decisions that show them how to do better at their job. She encourages creative thinking within her organization by making students think outside the normal. With her coworkers she

So, I want to begin by saying, I didn't finish this book. I had so many problems with the writing and characters that I did not enjoy reading it for the most part.

Everyday Maddy would come home from school and complain to her Dad about how much she hated being at Dunstan and how bored she was in Alexandra. Every day she would complain about how she needed a change but she didn’t know what she wanted. I thought the best option would be moving her down to Dunedin, this way she would have a different lifestyle. I had been looking into her moving down since the start of 2015, I had been following up on different schools around the area, Kavanagh College was the one that stood out the

Aba, I've known you since the first grade, when you crushed that spider (thanks man, I couldn't stand all those squeals) and from then on I’ve been so thankful. You've made me and so many other people so happy, but this isn't about other people so im just gonna focus on you and me. So this is probably going to be long if you know anything about me you know I write a lot. So let's go back to the very beginning.

The interviewer did use several of the nine types of verbal response appropriately. She frequently used explanation, summary, interpretation, clarification, facilitation, and empathy at appropriate times. One type of verbal response that may have improved the interview is silence. There were few pauses between questions and at times there were multiple questions combined in one long list. This did not seem give the patient an adequate opportunity to think about and answer each question individually. Confrontation was not used, however there was nothing about the patient or interview that would have warranted using this type of response.

Hello I Started this gofundme for my girl friend Dawn. For a little over a year now we have been struggling to find answers we never knew we would be looking for.

I was prepared for any number of answers regarding her health, as I’ve had those conversations before, but her response was different.

I am Gloria Castillo writing this letter on behalf of my daughter-in-law Maria Romero who is married to my son Valint Castillo. I have known Maria Romero for over seven years now and I see as my own daughter. I have seen daughter in-law and my son relationship has grown from the first moment I saw them till where that are now. Maria is a caring, smart, loving women that will do anything for my son and he would do anything for her.

If someone told me when I was a little girl that I would help change America, I would have never believed them. I mean, I was 10 years old then. I had long brown hair and wore dresses down to my ankles. I stayed at home all day with Mama, baking and watching my siblings. I did not have an idol, someone to look up to. Well, not until I met a flapper.

I smoothed down my long skirt and made my way up the steps. I knew other girls would probably be wearing something a bit more revealing, after all this is a Halloween party and as Cady says, 'In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it.' But I was not up for the short dress that is needed for the mouse costume, or the tight latex suit made for cat woman. Instead, I had decided to go dressed as a girl from the 50's.

She gives minor details to answer her own question and does not elaborate on them much if at all. She begins to tell a story about a team that brings people together to discuss/anticipate changes and what course of action to take before they arise but quickly cuts it off and goes to a new subject. I personally would have liked to hear more on the subject with more detail because even with help and diversity in the workplace this question may not be very hard to answer, but can be tough to answer in an effective

Whilst the open ended questions allowed deeper responses as spoken about above it was also evident that these questions allowed Mary Doe to feel comfortable throughout the interview as she was allowed to express her own open thought rather than having a written script of multiple smaller closed ended questions.

You might think I know who Daisy is. I just walked into the Target store and a taken aback to see a dog ! At first, I thought it might be a toy that her mom was carrying, but to my surprise, it was a real female dog! We literally interacted for maybe 2-3 minutes and I told her Mom, this reminds me of the video "We met a girl." She laughed and said she knew about it and was very kind to take my picture with this little Daisy.
