Personal Narrative: An Interview With Rachel Cooper

I interviewed Ashley Porras, a Licensed Vocational Nurse at Sharp Rees Stealy. She gave me background information of how she got into the healthcare system, great advice and what she does on a daily basis. The reason I chose Ashley as the person to interview was because I got the chance to spend the day with her at work and I loved it. I found it interesting what she did and got the opportunity to learn more about her, her occupation and where she see’s herself in the future. Someday, I would be an LVN and gradually get higher in the healthcare field like she is doing now.

She went on to graduate high school and attend a community college. Family problems were beginning to be too much by then so she decided to seek solace from her English professor. The conversation resulted in her moving in with her professor; this had a critical impact on her life. Her professor provided a stable home and encouraged her to pursue writing at a four-year university.

Sometimes people don’t have the courage to stand up for themselves when challenged with problems. When in the story Eleven by, Sandra Cisneros there is a girl named Rachel she is a shy insecure and doesn't stand up for self. It’s her birday and she is turning 11 years old, but seems that Rachel day is been a bumpy road. Her teacher is giving her a rough time and same with her classmates. All because, shes been put for the balm of how owns the ugly red sweater, These are coulpe Reason.

Speakers. However, I did feel some may have been there because they were famous, but nevertheless still gave insight to networking.

On September 1, 2012, I walked into my fifth grade teacher’s classroom for the first time in my life. Mrs.Cullen was standing in the front of the door with open arms ready to welcome her new fifth grade students. As I made my way to my desk and sat down next to Charlie Schutt and Quin Timmerman, I got the feeling that middle school would be a time of talking to some of my best friends and cruising through classes. As the school year progressed, and classroom seats changed, my thought of how Middle school would be changed as well. On the first day Mrs.Cullen explained our schedule, Homework detentions, and demerits. After about fifty questions, she sent us off to our first class, and the first step of our Middle School journey. The fifth grade

Lauren Rezac- My weekend did not really start off to exciting. Right after my Fast-Pitch game I was picked up by my dad in our 1962 jeep. When we got home we had supper and we all stayed up for a little bit and went to bed. On Saturday I had the house to myself, my dad was helping our neighbors while my mom and sister were in ST.Cloud.So When I was at home I was pretty bored so I did what most bored kids I know would do turn up the music and make a little mess, basically I made slime. When mom and Alexis came back my sister got a call from my dad to go help out so I went with her.I helped by steering the tractor when she got bored and she did the speed and stuff like that. On Sunday we gave mom her gifts then we got ready to trapshooting me

Ms.Muggs got into personal fitness and health because she said ‘’it gave me a sense of belonging, aside from my house and family’’. One of the jobs Ms.Muggs had before teaching was being an aquatic director and had a paper route as a kid. Did Ms.Muggs have a favorite moment in middle school? No but she did have two favorite subjects, math and woodshop. When asked why, she said “because I didn’t like L.A. and I liked to build.’’ The sports she played in middle school were soccer, which was her favorite sport, and softball. In her middle school years she really didn’t like or care for school. She says “I didn’t care too much for middle school”. As a middle schooler we asked her if she had a dream job and she said ‘’I didn't have one.” In middle school Ms.Muggs got B’s and C’s but she says ‘’ I was a good kid’’. She didn’t really like middle school and didn’t really remember it either. She liked her teachers but they weren’t role models to her. Ms.Muggs is a new teacher at clifford so we asked her how is it like being a teacher at clifford she responded with, “I like teaching at Clifford, there a good group of kids” we wanted to get more about how she views Clifford so we asked her if Clifford was better than he middle school she said “ It isn’t

I have had many great mentors that have stood out in my life thus far, but I have one lady that really stands out. Her name is Tina; I know her better as Ms. Hicks. She is a kindergarten teacher and Glee Club director at the middle school I attended. I came to know her really well when I joined the Glee Club my sixth grade year. She is so selfless and always puts others before herself. I just began watching her one day and realized that I wanted to be just like her. I began to volunteer in her classroom the last period of the day because I want to be an elementary school teacher as well. I decided why not learn form the best. Throughout the year, I learned so much from her. She taught me that students can learn and have fun while they

When I was six I wanted to be Hannah Montanna. When I was 12 I still dreamed of becoming a pop-star, but figured I could have a second job too – just in case. I’m seventeen now and I’ve have read Maya Angalou and Ralph Waldo Emerson; I’ve studied American history, marvled at astounding scientific discoveries, and cheered for political revolutions. I've traveled to different states and analyzed geological features for the aesthetic beauty and for the geological history. I've done many things, the logical step here would be then for me to pick; speak or forever hold my peace, but in all honesty, I don't know what I want to be. My six-year old self would say it's because I've seen too much, I think it's because I haven't seen enough. I want to

On her days off she likes reading and making arts and crafts with clay but when she’s on the clock she is a school psychologist in the Cottage Grove school district. I asked why she wanted to become a school psychologist. She replied “I liked the idea of helping kids but being a school psychologist I am able to help kids who are more special needs.” After working at Cottage Grove schools for 11 years she wants to get her doctorates in education to become an administrator and possibly work for the Oregon Department of Education. Yet, none what happened in Oregon would have happened if she hadn't conquered the precarious peaks of the Rocky

One of my nicest friends when I moved from Azores, Portugal to Minot, North Dakota in 2005 was Nicole Hamm. Nicole and I met at the CDC in Minot Air Force Base, in September of 2005. Ever since we met each other we have became unseperatable, until she moved to Florida in the summer of 2015 but we still talk. When we first met she was kind, and caring. There was never a day where she didn't make me laugh so hard that I was crying. When I first met her, we played 20 questions. My first question was what is your favorite color? Yet, her answer was neon purple ( not purple it had to be neon purple). As we kept playing I found that she likes to play Legos, and Minecraft with her younger brother and that she loves to watch Monster High and My

I got the chance to interview a wonderful person, Ms. Breyonia Sterling. Breyonia resides here in Savannah, Ga and she is 18 years old. Her birthday is April 8th, which qualifies her to be an Aries. Breyonia Sterling is a wonderful person because she has an admirable personality, she is very success- driven, and has some unique favorites. I also learned while interviewing her that we have a lot in common.

Hannah attended Harrold Middle School before attending the high school. Hannah shared with me something funny that happened to her in school which was during her choir class, they went around singing and people started clapping and she found it amusing. She dislikes school because of the bullying and negative people,who complain during school. Her favourite thing about school is the school is full of individuals that have outgoing personalities and are active in clubs and activities. Hannah’s plans after graduation are getting into art school starting out at The Arts Institute in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania. If she were to obtain a million dollars, she would use it for her college loans she will receive. Her favourite thing she did this summer was being in Florida with her Aunt,Uncle and

Throughout our lives, we all make sacrifices in order to achieve our goals or to help others achieve their goals. For some, this may mean sacrificing friendships or family time, or for others it may mean sacrificing money and other dreams which may also be of great importance to us. A person who has made many sacrifices in order to achieve their aspirations or goals is someone with strength, determination and masses of will-power, and it is someone who is not prepared to give up on their dream.

My informational interview with Karissa Page was held on the 27th of September. During our conversation, the majority related to her transition from a college setting to the working world as well as her experience going into a field different from ones major in college. I sought her as my real reader because of her experience doing as such. These topics were appropriate for our conversation because Ms. Page’s field of interest is in Public Health, while I am interested in conservation biology as well as her majoring in Biology and Psychology in Undergrad, while I am going to be completing a degree in Molecular Genetics & Psychology. During our conversations I expressed my desire to learn from her post-undergrad experience.
