MN: In the mist of my very busy schedule, I was able to get three interviews in, and luckily, they all went pretty well. This interview was actually with someone who I had known for a long time because she was in both of my English classes, but this is the first time I've ever spoken to her for more than a few minutes. She was a little bit distracted because a lot of her sisters kept saying hi to her in the lobby, she was also trying her best to say focused and she did a pretty good job of giving me good answers to my interview questions.
TN: I would say the interview went pretty okay, it wasn't the best interview I've conducted, but it certainly was not the worst. The most interesting part of the interview was when she spoke about being a college republican, she told me a story about one of her first friends on campus completely ex-commutated her because she found out she was a college Republican, she said that she couldn't associated herself with a Republican. She told me in that moment she considered not coming back to school.
PN: I was exhausted during this interview, the night before I got about 4 hours a sleep and I was not feeling any sort of interviewing, but I told her a time and a place and I wasn; t going to change location, especially because I was so busy this week. I was also hungry because It was about 4 o'clock and I wasn't able to grab lunch due to my schedule. My ex decided to show up as well, so that was a level of annoyance I didn't want to deal with.
SN: She is from McGill Toolen in Mobile, Alabama. She always wanted to go away for college and her parents encouraged her as well. She wanted to go to Auburn University but couldn't pay tuiton, so with the help of her mom, she heard about Montevallo. She is a Biology Major. Her boyfriend was so mad about her leaving that she broke up with her about it. Her fear was her dad having cancer and not being able to be around him as much. Her first day of school was awesome as well as her first classes, with Tinsley 101 class being her favorite. She is a member of college Republicans, and a hardcore Purple Side member. She lives in main and she loves it. She loves how much this school has changed already, and she hopes that she can mentor younger college students when she gets older.
