Interview 1 Reflection

What is the most important thing I learned from the interview and why?

- Possibly the most significant thing I have come to understand from that interview is that he had a lot to say and I had trouble following note-wise. However I did ask him to slow down at times so I wouldn’t miss what he was saying. Having been in the same position I was in he didn’t mind much and was pretty cool about it. Yet it concerns me that stopping the conversation may discourage the interviewee from a breathe easy vibe. So what I got out of this is that I should maybe bring a tape recorder so the interview can talk freely and I myself feel more at ease knowing I can listen back on the tape.

Interviews

Who do you plan on interviewing?
-I plan to interview Ligia Chang's older brother Eugene.
Why?
- He is an iPoly alumni who already has done the same project and topic I plan to do. Having such experience I believe he can pass onto me wisdom not only pertaining to physical therapy but guidance to past mistakes and successes .
You have been assigned to 5 questions to ask. What more will you ask and why?
- In addition to those five question I will ask him stuff concerning becoming one such as what courses I should take in college. The reason being is I see physical therapy as a possible future and I could use all the help I can get. As well as how things went with his own project of course.
