Alone Is Never Enough Analysis

The person that I respect the most out of anyone is my mother, that is why I chose her as my interviewee. Cristina Booza went to Cabrini High School 9th-10th grade and transferred to Melvindale for 11th-12th grade, then she went on to go to HFCC for college. She had coached cheer for a few years at a high school but then came the kids, so she took a little break to take care of me and my siblings. Her daughter (my sister) starting cheering when she was old enough, and then Cristina coached competitive cheer for a few years at the gym where my sister cheered at the time. Cristina’s parents raised her a catholic and she still is today, being very devout. As I said I have high respect towards my mother, but that is not the only reason that I …show more content…
I started off the interview by asking if my mom agrees or disagrees with the theory of the big bang. She did not know too much about the theory so I had to jog her memory on it.
