The Sociological Perspective Of Camping In Sandy's Life

Decent Essays
She also stays in close contact with her siblings they go camping every summer together. I am a avid camper myself and I can say that camping isn’t the easiest vacation to go on. It takes a lot of time and motivation to pack your house up and the belongings you will need, than you travel how far you chose, setup camp, and start having fun, however, your day to day life with camping isn’t as easy as most may think. It takes a lot to keep you organized and put together. If you don’t have a camper you can’t just open the fridge and take something you have to dig through your cooler to find what you need, it’s harder to clean up things because usually you are doing dishes outside in a bucket not standing in front of a sink and then you have to pack everything up go home unpack and put everything away. So a lot goes into camping so to continue to camp later in life is a great way to stay active and continue doing activities you did throughout your life.

I have never conducted this type of interview before. So that was a challenge in its self for me, I can say I learned a lot about my interviewee which was very interesting to learn about someone’s life in such a detailed and methodological way. I felt this gave me the structure and opportunity to give the tools to understand why people behave and act in certain ways. As a social work major I also feel that this will give me the tools to have a better understanding of my clients and to not make any pre-judgement assumptions of why people behave in certain ways before I obtain a better understand of where they came from and how they were

    I could tell how invested she becomes in her clients and really wants them to accomplish their goals. I am currently in a research lab with Doctor Abby Reitman here at Old Dominion University and our research focus in on alcohol abuse and I am also certified in alcohol intervention. This interview just encouraged me to continue to strive to help people who are at their worse. My ultimate career goal is to be a guidance counselor and I feel that is important to become informed of what substance abuse looks like so that in the case I come across a child who perhaps is struggling in school because they have a parent that abuses substances I would be able to talk to the child and hopefully recognize the problem right away. Understanding those who are struggling with substance abuse is also important because substance abuse can effect so many other psychological…

    It was challenging because you must find the right questions, tone of voice and eye contact. The order of the questions is very important because the next question can piggyback off the first one. The quoting directly is also different because what if you are not quoting right.

    I wish I used less fillers and mazes and was more precise. Sometimes, I would use too much selective attention, for example I focused so much on the interviewee’s family relationships and reciprocal treatment, that I forgot to ask about her resentment for putting others first. I also could have questioned her coping skills regarding her family’s laxity. Whereas in interview one, I believe my strengths included providing great minimal encouragers, nodding my head, counselor congruence, and showing greater interest.…
