For my interview, I had initially only interviewed my mother, but then I decided I wanted to see the contrast of opinions, so I also interviewed my father. I did this without telling either of them that I had asked the other the same questions so that they would not be thinking about how their spouse would answer. I believe that this strategy aided in the production of authentic answers from both sides. The first question based on satisfying milestones revealed some of the stark differences between the thought processes of men and women. When faced with this question, my mother didn’t hesitate in acknowledging her temple marriage and the births of her children. My father on the other hand contemplated back and forth on this one, until …show more content…
They both wish that they had committed themselves to more college. My mother never finished, and my father wishes he had taken more classes that would have helped him in his business endeavors. A consensus was also made that neither of them value the approval of others in the way they did 30 years ago. In a profound answer to the question based on what she values now more than at age 20, my mother simply answered time; time and family. When asked about her decision making process, my mother went through the actual actions that she takes: prayer, fasting, and consulting with her spouse. Whereas my father’s answer was more based upon his mentality in decision making. He has always been headstrong, and when faced with a decision in which he or others might have doubted his ability, he simply stuck out his chin and said that if someone else could do it, so could he. Others may take this as overconfidence or bigheadedness, but I can attest that my father’s heart abounds with humility. When having to recover from the consequences of a poor decision, both of my parents used the exact same phrase; move forward. An attempt should be made to learn from the mistake, but don’t linger on it. There is always a bright side to every situation, even when it is not always in …show more content…
My mother said not to be afraid to try hard things and to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Always use prayer and judgement in your action, but don’t be afraid to move forward. Don’t choose not to do something simply because you are afraid to. My father’s answer was a summary of all of his previous answers. He tenderly said, the sun will come out tomorrow, never give up, move forward, and if somebody else can do it, you can
“Nothing is impossible; you just have to do your best instead. Did you do your best for the test?” My mother said these to me.
Struggles with learning lessons in life can be challenging. Learning to make good choices in life and lead a life of righteousness can prove difficult, especially when dealing with family members who don’t make the right choices themselves. It’s hard to make good life choices when surrounded by people who are always making the wrong choice and lying. Parents should be respected, trustworthy and role models for developing minds of their children. Like life, not every choice can be black or white.
...us that no matter who we are, anything is possible as long as we go out there and try out best to achieve it. As the saying goes, “there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.”
Communication is essential in our everyday life. There are many forms of communication; to name a few: there is intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication, interviewing, small group communication, computer-mediated communication, and mass communication. Although we all engage in all of these forms of communication every day, I would have to say that I engage the most in intrapersonal communication and small group communication. Speaking of communication, I believe that my biggest strength deals with self monitoring strategies. For some of my weakness, I would have to say that due to self-destructive beliefs, I have very low self-esteem. I would also like to introduce and talk about a topic that I found
On November 27, 2016, I sat down with Dee for a face-to-face interview about her physical, cognitive, social, and spiritual development as a middle-aged adult. Dee is a fifty-three-year-old married women with two children: an eighteen-year-old son and a twenty-one-year-old daughter. The interview was conducted in Dee’s household in Chambers, Nebraska.
I agree that the interprofessional interview was very information in terms of the knowledge acquired. Yes, granted that we work with various health care professionals but the personal interview gave one an in-depth knowledge of what people do and how their roles though individual professions are intertwined with what we all do as we care for our patients. A medication safety officer who works within a health care team does perform an important function which may not be fully apparent until one does an interview with them; It underscores the importance of that particular assignment because it increased our understanding of our individual roles.
For my intercultural interview I ended up reaching out to my high school Spanish teacher to help connect me. I had originally planed on interviewing someone else, but that fell through on me, so FaceTime was the best that I could get to an actual face to face interview. I ended up interviewing a person from my home state named Daniela, who grew up in southern Peru before moving to the United States for college. In the short time that we had, her stories really showed me more than I thought I would ever know about Peru and Peruvian culture/beliefs.
Thank you so much for taking time to meet with me yesterday for an informational interview. I especially appreciated learning about how great of a difference you have been able to make in your respective positions throughout your time at General Mills.
“By Failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” The great mind of Benjamin Franklin said that and it connects with many aspects of every day life. One that it connects to greatly is communication. Right now my future plans are to become a certified public accountant. “In this job with how global it is becoming you are constantly communicating.” Which was said by Miss Lauren Kolarik. “Communication is very important,” she continues, “in this job you use every type of communication.” There is conversational communication when you are working with your team in auditing a company, there is professional communication when talking with a partner and there is written communication when writing emails to clients and overseas workers. All of these types are important because they all accomplish a different but equally significant aspect of the job. Through the course of the interview, one idea remained constant in every answer, be prepared. In the field of accounting you will be communicating in a conversational, professional and written form. It is crucial you know which type of communication to use and how to vitalize its
Irving and I sit across from each other at a vintage `60's Formica table, my trusty recorder in hand. He is a black male in his mid 20's who grew up in a region of Atlanta called the "SWAts" (South West Atlanta), for the most part, except for the five years that he spent in a little Georgia town called Hogansville with his grandmother. After high-school, he joined the Army and then went on to college. This is where we are now. Irving and I are both in the same AAVE class, and we discussed some of the topics that have been brought up in that class over a banana and a bowl of cereal.
You care about the public you serve and it shows. You keep a very positive and productive working relationship with others. You accept feedback in a positive manner and make changes accordingly. You listen well to the public and respond appropriately to their needs. One example of this is when dealing with a difficult issue, you stayed patient and polite while giving them the information they needed to complete the process.
Our interview with Mrs. Harmon was quite informal so her answers were blunt and straightforward. In this section of our interview, we discussed how exactly conflict is handled; it was made perfectly clear that there was no formal system whatsoever. There were five questions regarding this part of our interview and only one had more than a two worded answer. The first question we asked in this section was about whether or not there were meetings, seminars, or conferences that taught the employees how to handle conflict management. Being a smaller company, it was not very surprising that they did not hold any of these. When asked if there was any sort of designated position that was held in her office she had one word to say, her. This happens
When taking a limit of an equation in Calculus, a limit does not always exist. However, in the real world, there are always limitations to what people can accomplish no matter how hard they work or try. These limitations are evident in interpersonal communication research as well. In the article, "Commucication Apprehension Among Secretarial Students," the authors, Melanie Booth-Butterfield and Carol C. Thomas, research and examine the levels of trait communication apprehension among students enrolled in college level office administration programs. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss the process and two limitations of the research.
1A: 1. Complement our words-using nonverbal cues along with verbal communication that helps reinforce that one means what they are saying.
Another valuable lesson my father has taught me is to always do the right thing no matter what. One phrase my dad has said since I was a little kid is, “honesty is the best policy”. This lesson has taught me to put everyone else before myself. I feel this is one of the most important things my dad has taught me. An example is when my dad was kid he broke his door and his parents found it was broken and if no one owned up to the door being broken all 7 of his brothers and sister would of gotten grounded. So he did own up to it and didn’t get grounded that bad because he did the right thing and owned up to his bad deed. I had a similar scenario in middle school when I broke the chair and if I didn’t say I broke the chair then everyone at my table would of gotten so I owned up to it and got two detentions. This lesson changed by doing the right thing is the only thing there is no other option.
