Personal Narrative: My Interview With Charlie Cost

The interview took place in the CCR one on one. I read all directions and riddles out loud. It took two days to complete the interview because she was very thoughtful and struggled through it to help me with my homework. There were times

First, I disagree with the statement made in the last paragraph that said “one could easily argue that this exchange simply represented Danny’s misunderstanding of the task, we believe that if we look at this response as further explication of his conceptions of combining tasks and place value, we gain a more textured and multidimensional view of Danny’s understanding of number concepts” (p. 53). The student did not understand the task which caused confusion from the beginning. The student thought this was a place value task instead of a missing-addend task. The student asked for clarification over and over and then asked the teacher for confirmation when he said there was eleven chips. He did not receive confirmation so he changes his answer

Jamal Wallis at the start is a student attending a normal normal high school and is also decent at basketball. While Jamal openly doesn’t like school he is smart and a good writer. Things take a turn for the better after he accidentally leaves his pack after a bet but Forrester drops it to him with his edited writings. Jamal also starts attending a better school due to very good test scores. He starts to befriend Forrester and slowly Jamal becomes his student. Jamal's writing is too good however and his teacher thinks he isn’t the writer. He then turns in something referencing Forrester which Forrester said never to do. Jamal then must win states so that he can keep attending but, he purposely misses two easy shots. Forrester then comes into his class and states his friendship with Jamal and Jamal is dismissed from charges and

Alan Brito is a friend of mine from childhood. When we were young, he and I, along with a bunch of other kids from my neighborhood, used to play tops, marbles and “twenty-one”. We had a top contest in which those who could spin the top in the air with the string, pull it back and place it on top of the palm of their hand, was the winner. At the risk of sounding pretentious, I was almost always the winner. For that reason, they nicknamed me “Toppy”. Two of my other friends, Gilly and Billy were rivals. They were very good at playing “twenty-one.” They were unbeatable. Every time we played together they beat me. I was always afraid of playing against them, because I was quite sure that by the end of the game, I would be left with no money in my pockets. In time, Gilly and Billy got married and left the country. They moved to Saint Maurice, a small paradisiac island in the Pacific Ocean.

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 never thought I would be labeled an outsider, a misfit even. As I trudged my way through the halls of my small town high school, I would endure the gazing pairs of eyes, that belonged to my peers, followed by whispering and often times some laughter. I always used zone out during those repetitive speeches and commercials about the effects of gossiping and rumors; never did I imagine that one day I would be on the receiving end of of the everyday potshot. Growing up I was always the center of attention, the one everyone yearned to be friends with, never was I the antisocial child in the corner with nowhere to turn… not until high school. They say high school changes you. They say high school accounts for some of the greatest years of

On Sunday, August 2, 2015, approximately 1805 hours, I was dispatch to Magnolia Assisted Living, 964 South Main Street, for a suspicious person report. Upon my arrival I met with the complainant, Ms. St John. St John stated a suspicious person had urinated in the back of the building and stumbled across the street. St John stated the subject walked across the street towards the Pavilion, 949 South Main Street. St John advised me he was a white male with a brown shirt, blue jeans and brown hair

Interviewing someone you know may be a more easier with than someone you do not know. In this case, I interviewed my friend Matthew Guerrero. He is a sophomore here at Washburn. Matthew's background is different than mine because he is Hispanic and grew up with his married parents and his one brother. That differs from my background because I grew up with divorced parents going back and forth between the two every weekend. I also grew up a bit different because there is a total of eight kids in my family. I chose to interview Matthew because even though we both have two very different life's we are very similar. I think it is interesting how we had complete opposite lives growing up but we both are almost boy-girl version of each other and

I believe that women are just as competent as men and should be treated equally.

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

Interviewing Rad made it clear to me the reason of miscommunication between us. Recognizing the similarity of my own childhood trauma experience with him was the key to help me comprehend my struggle as the future therapist with working with traumatized children. As Robbie Adler-Tapia (2012) wrote about relationship between therapist and a child: “ this is valuable information because the therapist’s reactions to the child, often labeled countertransference, are likely a good representation of the child’s experience of being in the world and in relationship with others. (p.53)

I interviewed Mr. Dean Bond two weeks ago. He works as a Sr. Chemist for Mallinckrodt, where he has been employed for over 14 years. I estimate he is in his 40s.

For the student interview, I interviewed a 9th-grade boy and used the Algebra Interview questions. When we started the interview the boy was very apprehensive. I assured him it was not a test, and not much writing was required. He slowly started to relax. I read the first question (1a) out loud and had barely finished when he gave me the answer. His mental math was in high gear despite his initial apprehension. I proceeded to the next question (1b) with the same result. He provided an answer quickly to this question as well. I was beginning to wonder if this was going to be too easy for him, so I asked him to write down and explain his thinking so I could understand how he got the answers. For number (1a), he explained that he multiplied 6 by 3 because Alice ate 6 ounces of cake and she grew 3 feet for each ounce of cake that she ate. He then added the product of 36 to her original height of 4 and came up with the answer of 40 feet. For (1b), he modeled a different approach where he started with 16 feet and subtracted 4 increments of 3 until he arrived at Alice’s original height of 4 feet. He told me that he knew that he needed to get to the base height, and that is why he used subtraction. He did it in increments of 3 as he knew that Alice grew 3 feet/ounce of cake.

I have been having a lot of trouble with writing google is not correcting some misspellings I make so I have had to go back and fix it myself.And Morgan keeps wanting me to share the Doc with her but it's really hard because this is filled with a bunch of personal stuff and I know for a fact Morgan will tell everybody.And yet I’m still going to share it with her because she is my friend.Let's talk about my relationship with Mckenna.You see I would love to be dating Mckenna but she has a boyfriend so I’ll just have to wait.The realtionship I want to have is boyfriend and girlfriend but not like you think.If I were to ever become her boyfriend all I would want is hugs and stuff and to hang out and overall just be better friends.I would kiss her

I got to interview Quentin and learned alot of cool things about him that I never knew before. Quentin is very interesting and reminds me of my brothers Jack and Carter who are only a few years younger than me. Quentin was born May 8th, 2004 and is 11 years old. He is in in Ms. Chapman's middle school class. His favorite teacher is Ms. Guerrero and she teaches 5th grade. He was in Ms. Guerrero's class last year and enjoys her class because she is very kind and because she played games with the class and let them watch videos too.Quentin is excited to be back to school because he gets to see his friends and his favorite teacher.
