Sample Adult Interview Questions

I remember on my first day of preschool, my mom told me, “Abby, don’t tell your teachers about your family.” Sitting in my car seat, at the age of 4, I was starting to become overwhelmed with confusion. This confusion bubbled up inside me for years. I had so many questions that I wanted to ask my moms, but I did not have the courage or the strength to ask. Then I grew up. My perspective on the world changed, and I realized that my parents were seen as a calamity to society. That was my perspective though. I wondered what my mom’s was. How did she grow up in a world that only saw her as a flaw in the system? So I asked. Beth Shaffer’s perspective on her past, the present, and the future is an astonishing story.

For this project I interviewed my mom, Lynn Pasko. During the course of doing this project and going through the questions, it made me realize how much I didn’t know about my mother. It never occurred to me how times have changed and how different things are now. I learned a lot about my mother that I did not know. Some of these include how my mother moved schools every year of her schooling up until her last half of junior year. I couldn’t imagine having to go to a new school every year. Not to mention how many friends she lost contact with and how hard it was to be the new kid every year. Another thing that had really surprised me was the hardest that she had to do. The hardest thing my mother had to do was after 9/11 happened, she had to write goodbye letters to my sister and I in case anything had happened to them on their way to Hawaii. Both my mother and father thought about taking different planes just incase if something happened to one of them, the other would still be there for me and my sister.

For my interview I decided to talk to a young mother that I met in one of my classes. For her privacy I will call her Sofia. Sofia told me that she had her first child at the age of 17. At this young age she was very unprepared for what was to come.

With all of that was said, throughout the course of the interview, all of the questions and answers severed a great purpose, and wished that each of them could have been incorporated in my essay. But realistically, there was five main themes that will take precedence in my essay. In question number 4, “ If you had life to live over again, what would you do differently?" She stated she grew up in a predominately Christian home where she felt deprived of some of the norms in society due to implemented rules set by her parents. She responded, "I probably would have questioned my parents regarding their limits and boundaries, and would have made wiser choices". Secondly, number six question, "How do you feel about getting older" The response she gave was rather enlightening because she said the culture we live today is "deeply gerontophic". However, she responded, " Unlike others, I envision getting older as a basket filled with extended opportunities, great possibilities filled with vigor, wisdom and social usefulness". Thirdly, number eleven, "What advice would you give young people to prepare them for aging"? The one thing that stood out to me in her response was, "Be sure that attainable goals are set as you migrate through life so there will be no regret in the latter years to come". Fourthly, number sixteen, "What do you do with most

She responds “I was born on September 25, 1970 in Oak Brook, Illinois.” “I would usually go to the park, would go to a cabin for vacation a lot, and would go to Wisconsin to visit family at least once a year.” she replies as I ask her what it was like growing up there.
