When I heard about the interview assignment I knew exactly who to interview and that person was my cousin Max. I have always looked up and admired him as a person and a student. Going into this interview I thought I knew everything about him and his college career, but I was wrong. Max made me realize that even though college can be intimidating, it is still the best experience I will go through. He also shared tons of extremely useful advice for the years ahead of me. Overall this interview with my cousin was enlighten and taught me that even if I miss up, I will be okay. Max attended Orange Coast College from 2006 until 2011. When he shared this with me I was very shocked partly because I did not think you could attend a community college from that long and because I never thought he was the type of person to be unmotivated. My cousin was explaining that he just was not as motivated as he would have liked. He was also telling me that his parents were not pushing him to move on from Orange Coast because they did not really understand why he chose a community college over a university. I figured he had his major declared and was ready for college, but he was not. He did not declare his major until his third year at Orange Coast. The counselors were the ones to actually help him figure out his passion for education. Max was sharing that he did not realize how much he actually enjoyed learning and teaching others until he was in college. He was very honest with me
