Interview 1
HS: Opelika High School, Suburban School, 55% go to college
Connections to UM: My mom went to UM in the 1980s, my mom best friend she met at UM
Thoughts about college: Parents always wanted me to go, there was not another option
How did you hear about Montevallo? My mom
Declared Major?: Business Marketing
Any fears about coming to Montevallo?: Being so far away from my parents
How was your first day: It was great, I only fell on the bricks 3 times!
Where do you live? I live in Main Hall, I quite like it but it gets really loud sometimes
Any clubs? I'm in Spectrum and College Democrats
PV or GV: I hate to break it to you man, but I'm GV
Do you wanna be involved in college night?: I hope to be on the Volleyball team next year
Favorite Class?: Even though I'm a marketing major, I really enjoyed Dr. Rozelle English 101 class
Impact: Montevallo has made me into a strong independent woman and I want to continue that for the next 3 years
Mnotes: This interview was another one that I really enjoyed. I took everything that I learned from the first few ones (the good and bad) and tried to turn it into a very rewarding experience. She was also a gracious interviewee and she made me feel relaxed and more like it was a conversation and not be interview. I wish I had to ask her more questions but unfortenanly she had class in 35 minutes so I decided to stick with the most important ones. Despite this shortcoming, I'd definitely call the interview a success.
TNotes: My theory on why the interview went so well is that she was very engaging interview. She was incredibly thoughtful and she gave me very good answers with her questions and I was able to ask her follow up questions about her answers. We were also in a very que space and we weren't having to deal with any outside noise. I also knew her beforehand and even though that has backfired in a couple of earlier situations it was not a cocern here.
PNotes: We were in the library so it was a very quiet spot and we weren't bothered. I had also just had a great meal at the one and only Taco Bell so I was feeling pretty good about my life when I was giving that interview so all went well. We were on very comfortable couches and as well as in a nice air-conditioned spot. I had just gotten my flu shot that day so I was feeling a tad strange in my body but it didn't really affect my performance when it came to the interview.
SNotes: We first started talking about what high school she went to, which was Opelika High School in Opelika, Alabama. It's a suburban school but onlt about 55% of students there end up going to college. She heard about Montevallo through her mom, who went there, and her mom's best friend who she met at Montevallo. Her parents always envisioned her going to school and she decided to be a major in marketing. Her fear about Montevallo was being so far away from home. She said her first day was great because she only fell on the bricks 3 times. She lives in Main Hall and she quite enjoys it there. She participates in Korean Culture Club and College Democrats, and shes a GV (to my dismay). She wants to play for the vollyball team next year. She concluded the interview by stating that Montevallo and turned into into a strong independent women and shes excitied for the years to come.
