HS: I went to Enterprise High School, large school, most of the people I know went to college
How you hear about Montevallo: I was looking at colleges in Alabama and I stumbled on to Montevallo and I found out I really liked it
Major: Coming in I wanted to be an Marketing Major
Parents Impact: It was always college for me, didn't have another option
First Choice: Montevallo has always been my one and only choice
Any Fears: I'm gonna be a little bit far from home, so I don't know how that will go
Dates: I got here August 2015
First Day: It was amazing, I made so many friends that day
First Day of classes: Good, I even though I'm a business major, I really enjoyed my theatre course.
Where do you live?: I live in Tutwiler
Any clubs: I'm in "I am second" which is a Christian club about putting god first
PV or GV: I'm GV and we are going to win this weekend (again)
Best moment on campus so far: The lift raft debate, to see teachers roasting each other were very exciting
Most looking forward to? I'm looking forward to graduating because I'm so close!
MN: This interview did not go as well as I planned. She wasn't very interested in the interview at all so I tried to make it go as quick as possible to make it be as painless as it can be for the both of us. The interview questions were boring and mundane, but she was giving good answers partly because she wanted the interview to be done as soon as possible. I wish there was more to take away from this interview, but I was not given a lot of content to work with.
TN: My theory on how the interview went is that it went bad. Very bad. I tried to keep an upbeat attitude about the interview because I know that would help the interview go along faster and that at least I could salvage some content about the interview. One interesting thing I learned is that people don’t generally have a lot of say about clubs unless that have been involved in it for a very long time. When I asked her about the clubs she was involved in "I am second" all she could tell me about it is that it's about god.
PN: The person who I interviewed is by far the worst person I've interviewed. She was only focused on her phone and texting her boyfriend, so she was giving me half-assed answers. If she wasn't willing to put in the effort with the interview, it was hard for me to give a damn as well. It was also the middle of the day on Friday, so I was feeling that mid-day malaise, so I was trying really hard to get things done but my mind was focused on getting lunch, something that I had not done beforehand.
SN: She went to Enterprise high school and it's one of the biggest schools in the state. She heard about Montevallo through looking at school in Alabama and from that point she was hooked. She's a marketing major. Her parents have always told her college or bust, and there is no in-between about what her life would look like right after high school. Her main fear in coming to Montevallo is that she would be so far from home and that she would have to look after herself. But once she got on campus she loved it. She loved her first day on campus as well as her first day of classes because she signed up for Theater courses. She lives in Tutweiler and She involved in the club "I am second" which is a club about god. She is a Gold, she's had a really good couple of years, and she's looking forward to finally getting out of college.
