By interviewing Jian, I went to my high school. My friend who is also my participant, lives next to the high school. I took off at 79th St station, and saw a group of five boys, they were playing outside the bakery. I took a look at my watch, at this moment, they supposed to study in the classrooms, not play outside the bakery. And there were two students buying bread in the bakery. Students in this school were the “same” as the time when I went to this school. Cross the street, the high school is on my right side. There was a football team playing, actually they were trained by the teacher there. Again, there were three guys wearing hats were watching students playing football outside the playground. These styles of study are definitely not good for students. After one minute of walking, I still had a good view on students playing. There were cars all along the way on both sides. Behind that black car, my classmate was sitting on the long chair and smoking in front of his house. He seemed like he was looking, but …show more content…
Many people there had a little of education and knowledge. Under those circumstances, Biao didn’t continued having education after he graduated from junior high school. He worked for three years and then moved to America with his family. He just had half year of school here, and then quitted it. He went to work and only can work in Chinese place because of lack of knowledge and English. Those jobs were not easy, actually they were very hard.
Biao was a twenty years old teenager. “How long? I started smoking when I was in Grade 4 of Elementary School. Probably ten years.” He said. “That was really young.” I thought. I saw a pack of cigarettes inside his pocket. That may be one of the important stuff for him in his daily life. He took out one, and put it into his mouth, ignited it. Then he took a breath of it, again and again. The smoke came out of his mouth, it seemed very cool. But, it was really smelled not good for
This paper is based on an interview of a male who is in the middle adulthood stage of life. For the purpose of this assignment, I refer to my subject as John.

I had not heard about inductive interview until my professor assign our qualitative research class an exercise related to that topic. He required our class to “inductively determine your interviewee’s conception of “closeness” without asking for a definition. Actually, I was confused about the true meaning of inductive interview. I have had some basic understandings of inductive approach and inductive analysis but I was not sure about the connection between these concepts and inductive interview. I did a quick search on google and no exact concept was found. So I came back to the assignment requirement and tried to find some clues of how to conduct an inductive interview. At first, I felt lucky that at least my professor gave me a suggestion
Many of the characters in Monkey Beach are frequent smokers, and this habit influences the children in the community. Lisa had her first cigarette “six or seven years ago” (Robinson 19). Lisa was very young when she first started smoking, and is also a popular habit among her Aboriginal friends. Among the Aboriginal youth in Canada, the smoking rate is two times higher than in their non-Aboriginal counterparts (Reading and Allard 1999). Most of the adults in Monkey Beach are smokers, and because the adults smoke, this habit influences the youth. If one or both parents are current smokers, their children would have a significantly greater risk of intending to smoke because of the easy access to cigarettes and the indifferent perspective towards smoking (Jackson and Henrikson 1997). This is an example of how the past - in this case the ...
Today i am going to talk about one of the most influential person in my life, about the person that inspires me to enter into this kinesiology major, his name is kenneth Canche’. He is the head coach for the San Ysidro high school baseball and the leader of the PE teachers in school. And there is no way to argue why is he on charge. As i said, coach Canche is a PE teacher with a masters degree in physical education, and a masters degree in chemistry. And he has been involved in the physical education programs for more than 18 years. As coach canche argued in the interview, “in all my years coaching, i have had just one bad team, and it was 5 years ago. It is the worst feeling ever because i am
Atkinson (2000) among many others conceive of residential segregation as a multidimensional phenomenon that can be solved using empirical analysis. Likewise Atkinson wrote that segregation varies along five distinct axes of measurement: “evenness, exposure, concentration, centralization, and clustering.”– I am suggesting an alternative to researching segregation, focusing upon gaining an insight into peoples “on the ground” perceptions of segregation and if they feel if it is a relevant phenomenon in the area by using qualitative methods of interview. Allen (2008) argues that there is “an absence of reflexivity” concerning gentrification in social science research. It is important to understand my positionality as the researcher as an actor
An interview is a meeting and a conversation that happens between a potential candidate for a job position in a company and an interviewer, for the main purpose of the interviewer collecting information about the interviewee - such as their job experiences, qualities, and skills - to determine the eligibility of the interviewee’s capability to take that position in that company.
At the time of interview give a brief introduction of yourself as well as company, give time for answering questions and after interview summarize the things.
There is no doubt in my mind that one cannot succeed without failing, people view failure as a halt in progress but i disagree completely. Failure just brings you closer to the goal you are trying to achieve. People often think about how they could have prevented their mistakes and often ask themselves, “What could I have done differently?” Sometimes it’s not worth finding out.
For this assignment I interviewed the Chief Technology Officer, Keith Schlarb, for the Worthington City Schools. The Student Information System that Worthington City Schools uses is Infinite Campus. Our district transitioned to this system four years ago. Basically anyone that works in the district, including both classified and certified staff have access to Infinite Campus. The amount of access depends on their position in the district. Parents and students also have access to the system as well. Both parents and students are able to access IC through a portal as well as a mobile app. The mobile app was an addition this past year. With the improvement of technology, as well as student access to mobile devices, the app was an obvious addition. When I asked Schlarb what data is collected through IC, he laughed and said “Everything!” Beginning with all demographic information for all students as well as staff that are a part of the district to student grades. It is fair to say IC collects all the data that is required by EMIS (educational management information system) but then goes well above these requirements to collect data our district needs, such as individual student grades. The data is first and foremost used to satisfy our state and federal requirements. We collect the data through IC and then periodically programs are run that filter the data needed straight to EMIS in order to meet our state and federal requirements. In addition
I choose to meet with my academic advisor for one of my campus involvement assignment. My advisor is Stacy. I meet with her before when I was registering for class at the being of the semester. I wanted to talk to her mostly about how I wanted to attend the University of Minnesota, The Carson School of Business. My goal is the get a degree in human resource management. It’s been my ultimate goal since I was I high school. Stacy informed me that Carson was extremely competitive to get into. She seemed to have a negative view on me wanting to attended Carson. She made it sound like it was an imposable goal. I told her all I needed from her was to tell me what classes I should be taking what my G.P.A should be, and the rest of the requirement.
In my Junior year of high school, I hit a breaking point -- an emotional, existential crisis in which I was completely lost mentally and physically. I questioned my future with little fate in my abilities. At the time, I wasn’t doing so hot in my classes. A year prior, I had qualified for a conglomeration of nearly full AP/IB classes in history, English, and fine art classes that challenged. I’ve always been fascinated with history, literature, and writing. For years, I aspired to be a poet; but I never had a solid inspiration to look up because I had a heavy dissatisfaction with the poetry that we were introduced to in humanities class throughout middle school. However, during the second quarter of my Junior year, I found my inspiration that would change my perspective on virtually every aspect of my life.
Specific Purpose: To demonstrate to my audience how to present yourself as a viable candidate for employment during a job interview.
It is very common that many high school students hold part time jobs while going to school. When these teens work, they are able to learn and experience life lessons from ethical and moral work. Knowing that school is aways and should be a priority, students should work while in high school because working helps students be more responsible with their lives, help them practice time managment, and also helps students see and experience the real world.
One of the biggest problems that people are faced with on a day-to-day basis is cigarette smoke. The sole cause for 480,000 deaths each year just in the United States is accredit to cigarettes(CDC). For a lot of the smokers the habit of smoking happens to assist them when under stress and dealing with issues that are unmanageable. Some smoke to appeal to their peers or simply because it “feels good.” Smoking one cigarette can lead to a major addiction. The effects of smoking hurt oneself and those amongst us.
