Interview #1 transcript

Where do you live and go to school? Do you like school? And if so, why? 

  I live in Ogilvie, Minnesota and I attend Ogilvie Public School. We have a 
four day school week, and it makes life very hectic. Although I love 
school, this year has not started out so well. Trying to juggle high school 
, part time online PSEO, playing volleyball for both junior varsity and 
varsity, and chores at home is not an easy task. I am taking two online 
courses, Music Marketing and Reporting for the Media. I do enjoy my music 
class, but so far I’m not enjoying writing news stories. Writing usually 
comes easy for me, and when it doesn’t I tend to get annoyed and 
frustrated. It’s difficult to adjust to the AP style, and writing in 
third person.

Where are you in life right now? Where would you like to be? How will you 
get there? 

  Like I said before, I am a junior in high school. After I graduate next 
year, I would like to attend a Christian college and become a Licensed 
Practical Nurse. 

What are some hobbies you enjoy? Why do you like these certain ones? 

  I enjoy playing volleyball. Both of my best friends play, and so practice 
is a way we can talk, converse, and just relax, have fun, and forget about 
the stress. I also love sleeping, as sad as that sounds. All summer I’ve 
battled sleep insomnia, so now that I can actually sleep, I love it very 
much!

What is your passion in life, what do you love to do over anything else?  

  I have a passion for all animals, especially horses and dogs. I have a best 
friend named Kassandra, who also attends Anoka Ramsey, and we spend most of 
our free time riding our horses. If we ever have free-time that is! 

  Is this what you want to do as a career? How do you plan on getting there?
This is not what I want to do as a career. 

A little bit about your family. Do you have any siblings? Are you the 
oldest, youngest, or in between? 

  I have a very small family; My mum, Yvonne and my dad, Mike. My mum works 
at the AmericInn as a head-housekeeper. My dad is un-employed, as he worked 
for Denny Hecker. D:
I’m the baby of the family, I have a brother named Brandon, and he is 24 
years old.
