Personal Narrative: My Interview With Carman Mitchell

When you parents tell you not to do something do you just do it anyways. Well I do and this time I think I learnt my lesson. It all started on a normal Saturday and we were gonna go on a hike, but none of us wanted to go somewhere so we just did it at home. We got our bags and water ready and busted for the trail. I thought it was gonna be a normal day and we would all have fun, but I got proved wrong. The trail itself is about three miles and a couple of extra steps,but with the surprise we only walked a mile of it.

Growing up in Southeastern Kentucky, a kid doesn’t have many expectations from their parents, school teachers, or themselves. When a student walks by two teachers talking they say, “This group of 5th graders are the worst, every one of them are as dumb as a box of rocks.” This is the sad reality of what happened in my elementary school at Marie Roberts-Caney. Our school slogan is, “No student left behind.” Ever since 3rd grade I knew it was a bunch or bologna. Don’t get me wrong, I had great parents who cared about me, but they didn’t expect much from me. Neither of my parents attended college and I was afraid of it. Even as a young student, I knew I wasn’t the brightest kid in the classroom. Now that I look back, I realize how hard I worked

The family I interviewed has a son named Cuyler that is 22 years old. I talked to Cuyler’s mom Cathie. He is the oldest of three kids. Cuyler was born at 24 weeks’ gestation and had a grade 3 brain bleed. Because of being born premature and the bleeding in his brain it led to some of the disabilities Cuyler has. His mom told me that Cuyler has spastic quadriplegia. His disabilities include cerebral palsy, blindness, and he is nonverbal. She also told me that Cuyler also has seizures at least once a month, is hypotonic, and is fed by a g-tube. As far as physical movement the only gross motor skills that Cuyler can do is roll over.

I believe that everyone lives life in a different ways. There isn’t a certain way to follow in life. You have to make life fun and live it to the fullest. Whether it be by yourself or with somebody you love. To me I don’t think anyone should be individual their whole life. Everyone should have somebody male/ female that they can be happy with. Life is full of surprises and it throws new things at us every day.

The end of an era is now upon many current and former West Virginia University students. After the 2017 spring semester there will be no more clanking of the heating system, no more puke in showers, no more shattered windows in the breeze way and ultimately no more Arnold Hall.

I would first like to say nice to meet you and thank you for your service in the Air Force. In your post I noticed you mentioned that you are a duck hunter and that you also garden in you off time. I was wondering when you first took an interest in those two things and how long have you been doing it for. As an LSU Tigers fan who did you find more entertaining to watch this year the football team or the basketball team with all the hype surrounding Ben Simmons. Another question I feel the need to ask is what is your favorite Louisiana dish to eat and/or cook? It been a while since I have been to Louisiana and enjoyed the food but it always nice to hear what the locals say are best things to eat from there.

I wanted to let you know we had Dr. Cohen call us twice yesterday unsatisfied with the way the report was read. He spoke with Dr. Rotblat who had read the report and ask him to change certain things that he wasn't happy with. But Dr. Rotblat told Dr. Cohen to call our front desk and ask them to get another radiologist to read it. I called Dr. Cohen today to get more information about the situation and know what could we do to help resolve the situation and make it better as well I apologize to him for the way the situation was handled. He explained certain words and Diagnoses in the report was incorrect and not true. So We had Dr. Panasci do an Addendum. I did follow up with Dr. Cohen office and spoke to Julie left

The next person I interviewed was Charlie Cost. To begin Charlie agreed that the interview process was something he was okay with going through and he understands this process is to help me grown and understand how children learn math.

I became acquainted with George Stemm after I graduated from Globe High School a little over eighteen years ago. George attended the rival Miami High School, so while the town was small, we somehow never crossed paths until meeting at the party of a mutual friends’ the summer of my graduation. At 33 years old, George has lived in Arizona his entire life and seemed to be the perfect person to interview for this subject, as he comes from a line of native born Arizonans. “I’m the fourth generation of my family to be born and raised in Arizona,” he says as he proudly displays the Arizona state flag he has tattooed on his right arm. Could there be a better subject to interview on an Arizona native’s opinion of tourists?

On October 21st, 2015 the blue sky was hiding. You couldn’t see well because of the fog in the air. I interviewed Zach Brown. I was very excited about interviewing Zach because I have heard that he is interesting. Zach is very smart and very funny, so this was fun for me.

On Saturday, August 01, 2015, approximately 239 hours, I was dispatch to Conyers Police Department, 1147 Scott St. Upon my arrival, I met with the complainant Jeanette Higgins. Higgins advised me that her wrist wallet had been taken from the counter top as she purchased her items at Ross, 2203 Ga Highway 20.

It seems today that the main objective in life is to become the most successful you can be, to have the best job, to make the most money. I have grown up in a generation focused solely on self achievement, that the utmost important thing in life is self. This has created an ideology of selfishness among millennials. The underlying want for more has clouded the vision and need to help our fellow man. What good is one’s life if one does not positively affect others. What has one accomplished if, when one leaves this earth, one has not left it for the better?

On Saturday 7, 2015, Alex, Michael and I drove to the Holy Cross Lutheran Church located in 11515 Ashcake Road Ashland, Virginia (about a 5 minute drive away from campus). The first thing that caught my attention was the external structure of the church. The architecture of the church is old school and it looks like a wooden house. Inside the church we could immediately tell that there were at least two floors. The top floor was where the altar was located and where the congregation took place. As soon as we stepped into the top floor, a really nice lady approached us and told us to sign a book of guests that everyone that attends the service had to sign. After we signed in, the pastor approached us and we told him that we were attending the service for a research project and that we were students from Randolph Macon College, he seemed thrilled to be able to help us.

On 05/03/2016 I trained Mr. D. Foster on ICAD III, OMNIXX, CIS, TECS and Radio Traffic. I have personally been with him one on one for one day May 03, 2006. We worked W2 which included DRS, COM,RKS and DR POE’s. My first observation upon sitting next to him was he was on the internet reading sport commentaries, Secondly he did not assure there were any schedules to be entered into ICAD. When I asked him if he had checked DRT-Radio email for daily schedules he said yes and nothing was in the folder, upon opening it there was a DRS schedule from 0547 hrs. Mr. Foster also has very little knowledge on how to enter a 481 into ICAD III. I walked him step by step on how to enter a 481 correctly explaining

Amazing. That’s the first thing I can think of. Now that I look back on everything I did, all the things I saw, and all the people I met I think to myself what a beautiful experience I had. From the moment I stepped outside the airport into the cold chilly night until I walked back to the airport in the hot rainy morning four months later everything was beautiful. Not only did I learn about Korea’s culture and language even more, I got to meet wonderful people that I will never forget and that I know I will see again. From the cafeteria lady that exchanged all of my coins to bills to the bakery couple that made bread every morning, I will remember them all! People coming and going you can tell Korea is a big place and full of much more diversity
