Personal Narrative: My Interview With A Parent

We sat down on the leather, red couch and I slipped out my interview questions. I decided ahead of time to write the questions I was going to write about. I chose to ask about his interactions with his childhood pets, so I then looked him in the eye and asked him.

I chose to interview John because my family has known him for years. Listening to him reminisce about his childhood and growing up in poverty gave me a greater appreciation to his generation.

For my report, I chose to interview my middle-aged father, Nick Steele Jr. He is one of my biggest motivators, friend, and teacher. He is currently fifty-four years old and has embarked on endless life-learning adventures during his time here on earth. A lot of my personality has been in one way, shape or form, been influenced by him in one way or the other.

As I watched my baby mood changed, I turned from interviewer to mother, and changed the conversation to his upcoming graduation and all the activities surrounding that. His mood picked up instantly and that big bright smile was slowly coming back. Out of all our meetings this one showed the most emotions. Our next conversation was led by him while we were on a bus heading to Los Angeles.

Annoyed at this, I turned once again and lay on my back. I took a deep

What I found extremely interesting was how she ended up at the Superdome. From her educational background, she went for the path of working with children and students, developing their needs and abilities in the classrooms. However, she works at the Superdome, developing programs and building relationships with surrounding businesses and organizations. As the interview continued, I learned that, in addition to her career at Superdome Sports, she runs and operates her own company that provides classes for young children. Within this company, she is responsible for her own marketing, public relations, and everything needed to run a business. Before working at the Superdome, she was a teacher for nine years for kindergarten and first grade, and is still an adjunct professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University. I was extremely impressed when she was telling me all about her experiences. Sometimes,

Most people would talk about trophies or awards, but she spoke of her marriage. It was beautiful. Then, she spoke of people not wanting to listen and polarization of groups for the biggest change she had seen. She said it had really changed in the last eight years. I thought about it, and I began to see it. I thought of the Black Lives Matter movement, and how it tore the races apart. I believe that people do tend not to listen. Is it because we are living in an opinionated generation? I feel like I have always grew up with the kids in class that won’t listen for anything, so I’m not sure. As for the advice she would give her grandchildren or kids, it was “rely on your faith.” She said it would carry them through the difficult times. That really touched me. I believe in a high power than myself, so I felt like she was talking directly to me. She went on to say she believed she was here for a reason, and she wanted to leave a good impression on the students. I told her I wanted to be a teacher. I want to be that kind of teacher. At the end of the interview, I concluded by thanking her for her time and everything she does. She wanted to leave a good impression? Well, she definitely did with

For the first parent interview, I interviewed my friend Randy. The interview took place in the living room of my house. His daughter was present but was playing with my sister at the time of the interview. Randy is the father of a toddler girl who is three years old but will turn four soon. Randy was born in 1992, he is not married but is cohabiting with the mother of the child and his parents’ home. In addition, Randy works for a medical supplies company and has only completed high school. Moreover, when he had his first child and only child, he was 21 years old.

Reporter stated the following: They mom is acting bizarre. The mom showed up with three kids. The mom had multiple stories but nothing made sense. The mom first alleged that the 3 month child and three years old were sexually abused but there was not enough evidence. When there was not enough evidence the mom’s story disappeared. The mom told nurses, doctors and everybody different stories. The mom said someone had papers to make decisions on the children. When I asked the mom if she needed shelter, Mason said will they have to go back to the grandparent’s house. They are still here. We need DCS immediately to see who has custody of these kids. We think the mom took the kids from the grandparents. Mason said the grandparents are Genie and Jerry

My interviewee is a second generation immigrant with one parent who was born in El Salvador and the other who has Mexican roots but was born in the United States. For the purposes of confidentiality my interviewee will be addressed as Ana from here on out. In this interview paper I will discuss the experiences that Ana faced growing up in a tri-racial household. I will also evaluate her experiences regarding assimilation to the lectures and reading assigned through out this course.

The goal of this parent interview is to learn about different parenting approaches and the rewards and challenges of parenting. I choose to interview my coworker Eleanor Pratt*. She is 42 years old, and has three children. Her children Olivia*, Jacob* and Sarah* are ages 17, 14, and 10. Her household is composed of herself, her husband John* who is 44 years old, and her three children. This interview was conducted at our work place in a quiet office. The interview was about fifty minutes long and took place on two different days.

I interviewed my mother about her middle adulthood and the major transitions she'd encountered during this stage until now. Her name is Jasvir Gill and she is 47 years old. At first, I asked her about the physical changes that she has experienced

The third person I interviewed was my father. He did not have much to say. I was born when he was 46 years old. He felt as though parenting was a great responsibility. Just like my mother he remembered me having both breastmilk and formula growing up. However, the best memory he had of feeding me, my first bottle, was thanks to formula and pumped breastmilk. Thanks to the formula he didn’t feel so left out. However, he wished I would have been able to drink more breastmilk because he thought it was

What does it mean to be a parent? Being a parent means putting the well-being of your family and baby's safety first at all times, and making sure that no one will harm them. In addition, it means to love unconditionally and helping your kids grow to become respectful members of society. They will also be someone who will make the best possible choices in life and are willing to come to you whenever they need help because they look up to you as their strength and guidance. But, the one thing I don’t understand is why so many parents are killing their babies at the first stage of life, just because they are not ready to become parents. Because I believe if a couple is not ready or is willing to put a baby’s life above their own, they should

Having grown up with a mother who was verbally and physically abusive, love and compassion didn't develop between us two, however, my hate, anger, and resentment thrived.
