Interview

Interview Response

I had the opportunity to interview my girlfriend about myself.  We had a nice conversation about each topic and I was able to learn more about myself in the process.

What do you think my strengths/challenges are for this class?
She told me my biggest strength is that I like to involve people and that I'm patient.  In this assignment, patience is key in this project because we are dealing with people. One of my biggest challenges is my procrastination

Am I a good collaborator? 

Yes, because I like to discuss decisions with others as well as listening to other people's ideas.

Am I a good communicator (written, verbal, visual)? 

Sometimes and sometimes not.  Sometimes, I expect my girlfriend [and others] to read my mind.

How well do you think I work with groups of people I don't know or who have different experiences and perspectives than I do? 

I work well with others because I'm approachable.

How well do I synthesize theory and practice? Do you see me more invested in theory or practical applications? 

Since I over analyze situations it takes me awhile to get to the practical application part.

Did you ever think of me as an agent of change [Activist, Advocate, Invested in community empowerment] Yes or no? Explain.  

Yes, I always try to be involved, but sometimes I am too involved in things outside of just school.

What do you think I need to work on to be a better student/person/global citizen?

Time management and not taking on too many responsibilities.


I agreed with everything that she said.  We have been together for over a year so she knows me just as well as I know myself.  I know time management and prioritizing has been a big issue in the past and I’m slowly learning how to be better at it.  I have learned to say no more frequently and to not take on more than I can handle.
