Faculty Interview
For my faculty interview, I selected Dr. Turner. I selected Dr. Turner because I wanted to interview a professor that I thought was interesting and one that I thought I could be comfortable talking to. All of my professors seemed nice, but I was still hesitant to interview them. With Dr. Turner, we have had review sessions on Wednesday nights. Usually less than fifteen people show up, so we all got a lot of one on one instruction. Because of these sessions, I was more comfortable with Dr. Turner than any of my other professors.
To schedule the interview I went to his office one day after class

The first question I asked was “Why did you teach this field of study?” Dr. Turner said he chose this field because he had an interest founded on experience since he was a person of stutters. He also said that he never saw himself becoming a Speech Pathologist before it happened. The second question I asked was, “Where did you study and why did you choose that place to study?” He replied that he first attended the Western Michigan University because one professor there was a major contributor to the field of Speech Pathology. He went on to say that he knew he wanted his Ph.D., so he then attended University of Wisconsin, located in Madison, Wisconsin. It was one of the top three programs for Speech Pathology. After answer these questions, I followed up by asking how he went from living in Michigan, to Wisconsin, to Missouri. Dr. Turner chuckled and told me that he first came across Missouri when he was looking for a job. After visiting, he enjoyed the people that were there and he knew this was a place where he could be successful. The third question was, “What do you like best about the courses you teach?” He responded by telling me that he enjoyed that
Brian grew up on a family farm in Scott City, Kansas. He was always out on the field after schools and on the weekends. Not only did Brian attend Kansas State University, but he also had intentions of pursuing a medical degree. After high school,
Throughout his freshman season in college, Tebow had a bit of a rough year. He was the backup and only attempted 33 passes for 358 yards and 5 touchdowns. Although he had a rough year, the Florida Gators ended up winning the National Championship that year. His coach, Urban Meyer, decided to start him the following season as a sophomore. Tebow had an outstanding season as he passed for over 3,200 yards and had 32 passing touchdowns. That same season, Tebow won the Heisman Trophy which is awarded to the best overall player that season. The Florida Gators didn’t make it to the National Championship game that year because they lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the South-Eastern Conference (SEC) Championship game. However, Tebow and the Florida

After about an hour of hearing about his career, the interview came to an end. But I took a lot away from it. I think the thing that stuck with me the most is the idea of building a report with everyone you come into contact with. He explained how important it was to build with inmates, but he said it was something that has served him well in every area of his life. Being able to connect with people and see what you can do to make their life a little bit better will in turn make your life more meaningful, no matter what career you chose.

Sports fans look up to athletes and inspire to resemble their favorite athlete. Peyton Manning inspired fans, by revolutionizing the quarterback position. Likewise, Tim Duncan entertained fans, by playing at a consistent level of greatness night in and night out. In addition, Joe Montana was the master of the comeback, leading his team for game-winning touchdowns under the most pressure. All of these amazing Hall of Fame players´ only possess a few of Tom Brady's traits that made him the greatest football player of all time. Thus Brady inspires many people to compete and be the best they can be, he also brought hope to sports fans which made Tom Brady a hero.
Although they bear some superficial similarities, the differences between Eli Manning and Peyton Manning are striking. When former NFL Player Tiki Barber stirred up a Manning debate, every word he said stuck. He stated “Eli is better than Peyton.” “Because of clutch,” Barber said this on the CBS Radio Network. “What matters in sports? It’s winning and losing. You get to the stage and what do you do? Eli’s gotten there and he’s won.” However, both quarterbacks have made it to the NFL, you do not do that without skill, passion and determination.
The person whom I contacted for my informational interview was Joseph Gaines. I was able to meet Mr. Gaines through a network connection I made from my co-intern at Internal Affairs Division at the Metropolitan Police Department. I chose this individual because he holds a position that I am very interested in and may like to pursue as a career goal. We met and had lunch together. At which time I was able to interview him and get some insight of his daily duties to see if this career choice would be a good fit for me. Mr. Gaines is a Senior Inspector for the Sexual Predator Unit for the United States Marshals Service. He has an overall thirty-eight years of law enforcement experience. Mr. Gaines worked for the last twenty-five years as a U.S. Marshal.
Tim Tebow, a football player, a Christian and a Missionary, and my role model. Tim has been playing football since 2007 and is a well known QB to football fans throughout America. He was raised in a Christian family in the Philippines. Tebow displays his faith on the field by dropping to one knee and resting his head in his hands in prayer. He is not afraid to show other people his faith, and I hope that I can have the faith that he has.
On Sundays in the fall people all over the world are watching pro football. But do they know how it came to be or how the rules have gotten to be the way they are today? Most people don’t, so I am going to tell you all about it.
The second stage consisted of conducting an interview, via email, with the college’s Vice-President of HR, Dr. Deitra C. Payne. The interview questions and Dr. Payne’s responses were as follows:
This was my first time ever interviewing a professor. I had interviewed students before, but it was never as intimidating as interviewing a professor. I thought that the professor would in a way rush through the interview, but I was wrong. My professor listened and made sure that all my questions were answered, and after the interview, I felt that there is more than just students to go to when help is needed professors are always there too. I do not regret giving the interview, for it was a new experience and I found it very helpful. I was personally evaluated by a professor. It felt good to know that there are certain things I need to work on in order to be more successful. I wasn 't let down at all I took the evaluations as advice, and I love good advice. I now feel that I could go up to any professor and not worry about the feeling of being intimidated. This interview showed me how much the professors care for my overall well-being both inside and outside of college. I learned that professors know a lot and they also have a lot of advice to give. I was also told to make sure that I plan things out before hand instead of just adjusting to them as they came up. I was surprised when the professor told me to make sure that I know how a lot of things work in college, and that I shouldn’t wait until my senior year to learn new things, for that 's the mistake he made. With good explanation,
For that, I interviewed my boss, Karen. I see her almost every work day but there were still many things I wanted to ask her about. I knew that she had been married to a man before she met her wife, and that she still had his last name even after separating and remarrying. I also knew that her father was a Methodist minister and performed her marriage ceremony back when he could’ve gotten in a lot of hot water for doing so. I knew that she was adopted, too. But the rest of her life, the in-between moments, were still a mystery to me. So, I really enjoyed that interview. As you can tell from the transcription, we laughed a lot and got along well. I think she felt comfortable and she told me later that she had enjoyed talking with me. I also came more prepared and with more questions. It was hard to do my initial research on my student interviewee because there wasn’t a lot of prior information that I could find about her. With Karen, I not only had my own prior information, but she is also easily found on the internet. A lot of that has to do with her age and the businesses she has been involved
...t her profession as a speech team coach. Unlike Dr. Blalock not accepting Thomas excusing of not knowing the smoke drum and fires Thomas, Mrs. Kuznicki taught me what I need to practice on.
I chose to interview Mrs. Mary, Mrs. Jen, and Ms. Katonda because they all have experience with working in the hospital and that is the setting that I am looking to work in. I have also thought about becoming a college educator for physical therapy students and Mrs. Jen and Mrs. Mary are currently working as nursing lab staff, but they also work with the physical therapy staff throughout the semester.
