Interview Progress!!!

Alert the presses, I did my interview on time. I interviewed a kid who lives on my floor named Neil Cassidy. He is from Findlay, Ohio and is a very avid hunter. He was a great fit for my interview because he is very passionate about the sport -- yes, it is a sport.

I found that the hardest part of the whole interview process was following what he was trying to say. He is not a wordy person, but as I got him to elaborate a bit more on the questions he threw in a lot of 'Umms' and 'Errrs' so I did have to be true to Neil's personality and even when he may not have made grammatical sense, I wrote it down.

I found that it was not that difficult to get Neil to do this interview because generally people love to talk about their experiences and most importantly, themselves. I was really surprised at how easily the page began to fill as I typed away the words that Neil was speaking. When you aren't forced to make up a page of words, bbut instead only ahve to copy down someone else's thoughts it is a very painless process.
