For professor Wang, not only has his passion and purpose given him the motivation to strive and achieve, but it has given him the sense of appreciation of his identity. By living with passion and purpose, he mentioned that he worked his butt off to be where he is at. He didn’t stress much on the hardship have faced but I can bet that he has given up many things to be where he is at today. To practice “real” law he had to leave China and he is potentially risking his safety by promoting democratic values through his writings and teaching. Like professor Wang, I also have a deep appreciation of the American legal system because of my upbringing in India where the legal system is really corrupt. Also, I know about how Tibetans inside Tibet lack …show more content…
I’m also happy that my pessimistic predictions of this interview turning uneventful did not come true. I think the interview was very natural and engaging. Also to my surprise, he treated me like an equal where I felt that I can speak my mind and ask what I desired. From this interview, what I value the most is the humility he showed to me. Even as a very successful lawyer, professor and researcher, he looked at me as a peer. As the interviewer, I feel that I did a pretty good job driving the conversation. There were moments when professor Wang went off on a tangent with stories that were irrelevant with the topic and I could have done a better job controlling that. Compared to my classmate one to one, I felt that this interview was richer in the sense that he has more life experience than both Josh and I combined. Josh is a very young man so he still has a lot to experience and dabble before he knows what he really wants in life. Unlike Josh, professor Wang has a rich life where he has gone through many things and he has a strong sense of self and his desires. Because of these realities, I felt that my conversation with professor Wang was more meaningful. If there is anything I wish I had done differently, it would be the fact that we didn’t talk long enough. I feel that I have lot to learn from him. Luckily, I plan on seeing him in the near future to talk about my future plans and world
On the agreed date and time, I reached the agreed meeting place which was a coffee shop in Vancouver. I had previously sent a photo of myself with my interview request thus making it easy for him to find me. We had a brief introduction where I explained to him how I was given his contact information and why I chose him to interview. He asked me questions about my study and future plans. After this, I asked him questions about his profession and communication skills usages at his work

While waiting for our food to arrive I started the interview off with some introductory background questions. His demeanor during the interview was very comfortable. I felt he was being very open and honest with his answers. Our conversations flowed very smoothly. I felt as if I was speaking to someone from a different culture from mines, but the way he expressed his perceptions and experiences were not foreign to me. Plainly, I could see how people all over the world could share the same dilemmas.
Growing up in China, I will be able to view some things from a different perspective. The analytical skills that I gained from double majoring in political science and economics further equip me with the ability to analyze the difference between the U.S. and China. I can bring these viewpoints to Michigan Law and discuss them with my peers and scholars. I believe that through this process, I would be able to contribute to the diversity of Michigan
Mark C Elliott’s book Emperor Qianlong Son of Heaven, Man of the World is a short biography about Hongli. Hongli was the fourth son of the Yongzheng Emperor and the favorite of his father and grandfather and was born in 1711. In the beginning it describes how he rose up in rank as a son through his father who introduced him to the current emperor Kangxi, his grandfather. The first chapter gives us the story of what Hongli was like as a child and how he won the favor of the Emperor. The book follows Hongli all the time from his birth from a low ranking palace consort right up to the end of his life even after he technically gave up his title as
For Interview a Professor Assignment I decided to Interview Tao Xu. He is my Chemistry professor; he is teaching for 12 years. Also, he joined the Northern Illinois University on August 12, 2006, for many reasons but one of the main reason was family and resource. In 2006 he was an assistant professor of chemistry, biochemistry and nanotechnology. In 2012 he was promoted to Associate professor. Also, currently he serves as a Resident Associate for Argonne National Laboratory in the Materials Science Division.
I had no idea who I would interview, and I was expecting the worse from the actual interview process. I remember feeling nervous emailing my professor, and I felt a bit anxious the day before the interview was conducted. Now that I am reflecting on it, I really enjoyed it and I am even thankful for it. I know it made me more comfortable with my professor, and has made me more likely to approach any of my other professors and teacher assistants for help. From the interview, I also learned a lot about picking the right major. Professor Inda explained that for most Liberal Arts and Science majors, you need to have a strong passion. A lot of research, writing, communication, and dedication has to be put into the work you complete. He also helped me feel more reassured with my current choices of majors, he even recommended me finding out more about dual majors because he believes that Global Studies and Anthropology are closely tied. From the interview process, I learned that I could use it as a template to go to office hours more frequently. When I go, I usually don’t now how to structure my questions, and this usually discourages me from going and I end up asking friends my questions. I know that if I had interviewed a person working in my intended profession, I would’ve gotten a different experiences and I am glad I picked to interview a professor because I feel that I gained a lot more knowledge outside of just my intended
Having the chance to interview real lawyers really benefitted me and impacted my view of law. Though my interview with Ms. Wang was brief, her response to my final question led me to briefly reconsider whether I truly wanted to go into law. However, this only ended up reaffirming my former interest. This is because after considering the various aspects of her job that she shared with me, I realized that I was truly interested in law itself, including all of the writing, reading, and research that comes with
Many women have faced difficult paths to get elected into office whether they are Hispanic, African American, or White. Even if they had all the qualities or they were overqualified they failed based on their gender, race, or lack of confidence in themselves.
Throughout the history, immigration and the United States are inextricably linked. The United States has promulgated many immigration legislations in the past either to restrict or support the immigration. Immigration is still going on and it is a debatable issue even today. In the interview, Chang-rae Lee says, “I’m interested in people who find themselves in places, either of their choosing or not, and who are forced to decide how best to live there. That feeling of both citizenship and exile, of always being an expatriate-with all the attendant problems and complications and delight”(Garner 2). Chang-rae Lee exposes the inner and outer conflicts the immigrants go through in the United States with

In the book Daodejing, chapter eight, the part that says “The highest efficacy is like water…That it incurs no blame.” In translation, I assume it is saying: The highest efficacy—which, is the awakening state in Buddhism (where mountains and water goes back to being mountains and water), it’s being compared to water since water is the benefit to every living thing. So, when one reached the awaken state, it benefits everything around. The way in the world for the awaken one is to dwell with others, to teach Buddhism. However, not everyone welcomed him. He then, needs to find a spot that works well for him and his teachings. When the awaken one think or feel, he must do so deeply. When the awaken one gives, he must give his all generously. When the awaken one speaks, he must be truthful. When the awaken one serves, he must be efficient. When the awaken one act, he must do so at the right time. In the way-making of the world, there is no right or wrong, no better or worse, therefore our acts cannot be perfect.
He shook my hand with confidence and seemed at ease throughout the interview. He was able to answer all of my questions and never seemed “over the top” in his answers.
Overall, the interview was accomplished with few complications. There was definitely areas of the interview that need attending to, and there were areas in which I excelled. The dyadic interview started with an opening statement. I attempted to make Person A feel comfortable by asking a simple question of “How are you today?” I believe I made Person A feel as comfortable as possible in front of a camera and build a rapport. I could have asked one or two more easy questions to lighten the mood. I was nervous being in front of a camera especially for an assignment worth a large portion of my grade. When I’m nervous I sometimes bite my lip and unfortunately throughout the interview I chewed my lip. This could have made Person A feel awkward if she took it in uncomfortable way. The listening aspect of the interview I believe I did very well in. I gave attention to what Person A was saying and tried to ask questions that allowed her to elaborate, although there were a few instances that I missed the opportunity. I also tried to write some notes down
have been a professional photographer and cinematographer for the past four years, and in that time I have heard Edward Burtynsky’s name come up in passing. I was ecstatic to finally see some of his work, but honestly I was met with nothing more than disappointment. I know I am probably going to be the only person who takes a negative stance on this subject, but I can’t lie when it comes to photography. I cannot help but look at Burtynsky’s work from a technical standpoint, and I have yet to find a single picture a teenager couldn’t have easily taken with their smartphone; given the same accommodations. In my personal opinion, a “professional” photographer must have mastered both light and composition… both of which he really falls short on.
