Personal Narrative: An Interview With Mr. Hanke

Decent Essays
I interviewed Jerry, Faith Green, Paul, Ms.Darshan, and Mr. Hanke. They were all very helpful because Faith and Jerry were IPoly students and I felt that I could really relate to them because I still haven't decided what I'm going to be. Ms. Darshan explained to us that we need to be responsible for our selves and that some textbook prices vary because they all cost a lot. Paul gave us advice in if we weren't sure what we are going to do we should find a common class that the careers I want to pursue have in common. Mr. Hanke told us that we need to stay focused in school because some people who try different things and don't get into it change who they want to be very quickly.

    As hard as my relationship was with Thomas, I am grateful for what I learned from being with him. I learned that I am a strong and an independent person. I didn’t need him to make me feel secure and happy. According to Mendenhall (2014), intimacy dances work best when they support both people (Mendenhall, 2014b). I won’t sacrifice myself to a relationship again because the outcome will never make me happy.…

    For my interview I chose to ask my grandfather, Papa to me and Tom Conley to everyone else, to answer some questions about serving on jury duty. My grandpa is 75 and suffering from severe parkinson 's disease, while living at an assisted living facility in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. In his earlier years he worked as a successful and witty car salesman, who could make anyone laugh or smile from his hilarious - and socially unacceptable- jokes or comments. I was not sure that he would be up for answering questions being that he is having trouble with his memory, but he gave great intel on his experience and was so excited that he could be involved in my project, as well as hear about my high school curriculum. About ten years ago, my grandpa…

    Interview of a family member I have selected to interview my grandfather. The main reason for that is because I have learned many things from the stories and experiences that he has shared with me about his life. I will be comparing my grandpa’s life as a teen in the 1960’s to the life of a teenager now days using the knowledge that we both have to offer ,even though he was not living in Canada during his teen years. In general being a teenager in the 1960’s was different compared to being a teenager in 2016 due to some factors such as the changing trends, lifestyles and cost of living and technology.…
