My mom is the drama teacher at our school and I chose to interview her because I already knew a lot about her, but I found out that there is a whole other side to her. I love my mom and I love learning about her. This was a really fun experience because I jumped into my mom’s childhood and upbringing. My mom has always been an amazing person in my eyes, but when I heard her stories I really thought about my mom’s entire life. I have always been interested in my mom’s life because she turned out to be such a kind and loving human being that I wanted to learn more about how she came to be. My interview happened in my house and I was on the couch. My mom and I had a nice interview and I learned a lot about my mom’s history and her career.  

We wrote letters to the people we wanted to interview for our project. The letter asked about things that I would want to learn more about. I really loved this project and I felt like I did a lot of thoughtful writing. It was all handwritten, but luckily for me I have great handwriting. I gave it to my mom and when she read it and agree I was quite happy. I kind of knew that she wasn’t going to say no because she’s my mom and this is a school project. I had a lot of fun writing it and the entire time was fun too.

I thought about what I wanted to ask my mom and I had to really dig deep because I know her well. I had to think of questions that were thoughtful and still had a lot of ways to go. I think that I did good questions because I got a lot of good responses.These are the questions I came up with:

What is your favorite part about your job and why?

What was your childhood like?

What’s a moment in your life that made you change as a person?

If you could re-do your life what would you change and why?

What was the biggest difference between England and America?

What do you miss about England?

Where have you been and where do you want to go and why?

What was the hardest challenge in life?

Who helped you through the hardest moment of your life?

We wrote our step that we took in a document. Here are mine:My step 2 doc

I feel really good on how it turned out. I put a lot of time and effort into it and I think it payed off. I am proud to present My interview.
