Internship #6

Mentor Interview
Randy

What I would like to learn out of the interview:
-Through my interview with either my mentor or one of the teachers I work for, I would like to learn about these four main topics: their childhood/life long dreams, how they ended up where they are now, the challenges they had to overcome to be satisfied, and if they are happy with their whereabouts today. I would love to hear about what their hopes and dreams were when they were my age, and if they actually succeeded in achieving those goals, because hopefully it will give me motivation to chase my dreams and not settle for less. I'm curious to hear whether or not their lives went according to their plan, or went out of control. Also, I would love to know if at my age they knew what they wanted to do or not, and their college experience. Im interested in all of this because I want to know what to expect for my future, whether you can control it or you just got with the flow. If they did end up achieving their dreams I would love to hear about the challenges, if any, they had to overcome to get where they wanted to be, and if they ended up giving up on their dreams i would like to know why and if they regretted it. Knowing this information is important to me because I want to know my dreams now will be the same in a few years, and if they are worth breaking your back over. The last thing I would like to learn out of this interview is if they are happy to this day. If they are happy with where they are now, it will give me relief that everything happens for a reason, or that it was worth fighting for your dreams.

Scheduled Time and Place:

If I interview my mentor I would probably have to figure out some time with her ahead of time because she is very busy, but if I were to interview an important co-worker, I could get the interview in while the kids are at recess. It would be especially easy to schedule interviewing the first grade teacher that I am working for, Ms. Thein, because she stays in the classroom with free time during the children's recess and elective classes. I will most likely interview her, and I can do this anytime next week, so hopefully Monday in her classroom! As for a recording, I could bring my MacBook to internship that day just to record it.
