Student Interview Essay

When thinking in the terms of marriage and one’s partner, the words that come to my mind are compassion, love, tenderness, trust, and devotion. It’s truly amazing to see someone who has endured such tragedy in their life, who has suffered pain, fear, and betrayal by the hands of the one person who should have shown just the opposite. Little did I realize that the woman who would be my instructor for two college courses I had taken would be such an inspiration to me.

Counseling has many components in different fields such as a school counselor, marriage and family counseling, addiction counseling, individual and private practices, and many more. For my project, I interviewed Mrs. Ross Freeman, a school counselor who talks about her journey of becoming an Elementary School Counselor. We discuss what the requirement and cost were to receive a license in the counseling field. We were also able to discuss the average salary and hourly wages for a counselor in WISD. Mrs. Freeman then goes on to enlighten me about the rewards, challenges, demands and frustrations of a school counselor.

Alyssa is showing concern about who will view her record. The case manager explains that she knows privacy is important to Alyssa. The supervisor, consultant, and other staff who are working directly with Alyssa cannot view her record without her signed consent. In explaining to the client there are exceptions in cases of emergency where information may be shared without her consent. For example, suicide, homicide or other life-threatening situations (Woodside & McClam, 2013).

There are many components to a hospital or medical facility. All of them are necessary to have a properly functioning environment. The emergency department of a hospital is a fast paced world. You have to be constantly on your toes and prepared for whatever may come through the doors. There are many people that work in an emergency room to make it run smoothly. Techs, nurses, CNA’s, LVN’s, and doctors all work side by side to help those who are critically injured. Without all these people it would be complete chaos.

The Mount Carmel College of Nursing is one of the largest programs in central Ohio. The long history and reputation in the central Ohio area have placed the program in the forefront of providing excellent nurses. The

“Will you teach with your degree in English?” You have been or will be asked this million dollar question so many times you will wish you had a sign above your head that reads: Don't ask me about teaching.

Throughout the interview response essay, I have learned a lot about my writing. I have learned that I have not really perfected my own writing considering there were sentences that didn’t make sense. Even though I proof read and double checked everything I still didn’t catch my mistakes. I think this helps me understand that as a future teacher, there are always ways for improvements. Not only with writing, but also with my instructing. Some teachers may create one lesson plan and then use it over and over again when it’s not the most effective, so I think that it’s important to see what works for students and what doesn’t, just like in my writing. Some things may make sense to me, but may not make sense to the audience. I also learned through

The professor I decided to interview is my biology teacher Kane-Barnese because I am a biology major and wanted to learn more from a once Concordia student that graduated with a degree in biology. She is a new teacher that seemed a little nervous at first but now she has become a good teacher and I look forward to going to her biology class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30am to 9:20am. She is also my biology lab teacher, that is my favorite class because we get to do hands on stuff like finding the osmolarity of potatoes, cellular respiration fermentation and bean seeding oxygen consumption.

Most high school students are required to read and understand many classic literary works throughout their schooling, such as Romeo and Juliet, Fahrenheit 451, Macbeth, and Frankenstein (“Popular High School Classics Books”, n.d.). These books have no doubt stood the test of time by remaining so popular today. However, is it really beneficial to have students read so many older works? The lack of contemporary literature in high school classes is quite worrisome. There are many great books from more recent times that should be represented in high school curriculums but aren’t. Is it because they have not yet passed the test of time like the classics? Or is it because people are too attached to the classics? Whatever the reason, this issue needs to be recognized and addressed.

As social workers we’re expected to practice in multicultural and diverse cultures. Therefore, with these expectations it is our responsibility to prepare and be educated on how to effectively conduct a practice with an individual of a different religious view or ethnicity. Learning about a client’s particular religion or ethnicity before interacting with them will help eliminate any offensive behaviors a social worker could unknowingly engage in. This research will also allow for the helping professional to acknowledge the possible influences the religion or ethnicity can have on the client. Being aware of these factors from the start will help us avoid any miscommunications that could occur between the client and the social worker at the start of their practice.

An effective school leader possesses skills to create, implement, evaluate, improve and share a staff development plan. I met with Ben Rhodes, Sandy Creek Middle School’s principal, to interview him on the specific elements of his yearly staff development plan. We began with the design process focusing on the district and school goals. District goals include improving literacy across the content areas in reading and writing, Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum (GVC). Guaranteed and Viable Technology (GVT), and Closing the Achievement Gap (Equity in Excellence). Using a variety of assessments to focus on specific needs, Ben Rhodes and Mary Sonya, our Pupil Achievement Specialist, examined CSAP, Explore, MAP, and RAD data. They use the

The reason English classes always take the interest of individuals is the way we are able to analyze, discuss, and believe what a piece of literature is about. The subject individuals do not take into thought is the reason why we are reading these specific works of literature. There is no way to read everything because “Who reads must choose, since there is literally not enough time to read everything, even if one does nothing but read” (Bloom 15). The most common reason is we, as a society, have deemed specific works greater than others, even adding the label of “a classic” on to them to show exactly that. But what deems a work of literature to be a classic? The answer to this question is really relative to the individual. For someone that

As a person living in today’s society, we read everything. From traffic signs, and the back of cereal boxes, reading is a big part of our lives whether we realize it or not. Two types of common literature are contemporary and classical. The controversy over which of these is the more beneficial to high school students is never ending. Some believe that reading contemporary is more helpful to the students social skills and more enjoyable to the students. Classical is greater, because it enlightens the readers knowledge with the ideas of the past and can lead to experience different cultures in a mindset of different eras.

For my interview, I interviewed Xi Zhao, who is currently a research analyst at the FDA. One of the important findings I found was that as an analyst, you are never really done with a project. Trends and patterns can change frequently and sometimes very erratically, so analysts always have to be prepared to make changes. So Xi told me that many of her projects are ongoing projects and more likely will continue on to be ongoing for quite a long time. I personally enjoy this nature of being an analyst. Everyday is a surprise and you won’t be working with the same data set over and over again. I also learned that there is a lot of promotion opportunities for analyst positions. Xi told me that there are levels of analysts and once you reach a certain, you can become a manager where you can lead various analysts. This is great because no matter where I go, I am interested in getting to a position of responsibility where I can lead a team.
