Personal Narrative: My Interview With Latoya Knight

I was blessed to have the opportunity to interview LaToya Knight, she is a hard-working human service professional with two jobs. She works in a hospital setting as a social worker at JFK Hospital North in the Psychiatric and Behavior Health Department and is a school guidance counselor at Renaissance Charter School. With the privilege of inquiring two different human service professions permitted more in-depth insight which helped shaped career perspective and gained great amount of knowledge and wisdom through her work experience. In conjunction both jobs assist and compliment each other and has distinguish specific responsibilities and services offered.
Majority of the interview was based from questions that surfaced as she would answer previous questions,

She expressed the honor and privilege it is to pour into the lives of young ones especially those lost and trouble. LaToya emphasized how sometimes you are not playing the guidance counselor but their mommies, which really highlighted the compassion and genuine caring concern for her students. Which provided me with the reminder that your career pathway should not rely on socioeconomic factors but more of a view of where our heart and intentions lie. Additionally, we discussed her schooling experience while pursuing her master’s degree, she had self-doubt with questioning her abilities just myself, however, what eradicated the negativity is experience gained through interning as well as faith. We closed with words of empowerment and motivation instilled in me to further continued education for master’s degree and licensure just as herself. Overall, this interview was associated with benefits such as clarity, wisdom and purposeful reminders. This entire interview revealed the profound impact being a human service profession has on society and
