MN: This interview was with a classmate that I knew and had spoken to before, but I really did not know much about her until this interview. I did not know that she was such a interesting person and had all the aspirations and goals. The reason why the interview went so well is because the sheer surprise that I had about her, and it pushed me to inquire about her further. She was also fully engaged with the interview at all times and I was not struggling for her attention.
TN: The theory on why this interview went so well as to do with the fact that she wanted the interview to be great just like I want it to be. She was engaged the entire time and was even asking questions about the interview herself, wanting to make sure she gave the best possible answer for the interview, so it will work well in my paper. Also we were in a very quiet space so there were very little distractions around us when it comes to the interview.
PN: I was conducting this interview in the Main Hall lounge area, so it was extremely quiet, and it was very easy to focus on what she was saying. This interview did take place after the 3 classes, so I was tired, and I was ready to get some rest before the rest of my day commenced. I was also dealing with some mid-day hunger, but I was incredibly poor and had no money to get food on that day.
SN: She is from John Carroll High School, a small school in which the teachers pushed on the kids to make sure they go to college. Her mom wanted her to go to UM and she fell in love with the campus and soon as she got here. She is a business major though she does not quite know what she wants to do with that yet. Her sister had the biggest impact on her going to college, even though she was excited, she was nervous about having to be on her own for the first time. Her first day was terrifying as she did not know anyone, but it got easier for her when classes started because Dr. Day. She is apart of CCM (Campus Catholic Ministries) as well as a Gold side member. She lives in Main and she absolutely loves it. She thinks Montevallo has made her come out her shell and she is excited about graduating and figuring out what she wants to do with her life.
