This Interview is the product of what my professor thought would be a good idea for the class to get to know one another: ice breakers.
Although I understand the reasoning behind them and appreciate the efforts of my professor, I still think ice breakers are quite awkward. Growing up I was always told "things don't have to be awkward if you don't make them so", and to this statement I say, "Honey, I was born awkward."
I find that if I let my encounters and conversations with people happen organically, then it feels like I can establish a genuine connection versus forcing conversation in an effort to fill up silence or "break the ice"; I prefer to let it melt.
But back to the reason why I am writing this post: this interview. For this assignment
