Post-Interview Cool Down

Since finishing the interview with Ms. Liz Sisco, I have learned very much. It is interesting how much you don't know about the people around you. Sisco, a neighbor and family friend was nothing more than a friendly face and carpool mom for the past 5 years. Once I was given the opportunity to learn about her work and personal interest in art it was clear that there was and is much more to her. It makes one wonder what else is out there. Walking home from our Starbucks meeting I surveyed my street. A jogger, some kids on skateboards, what are their stories? I kept my eyes wide, taking in everything I could, all the while attempting to appear as little like I was staring as possible.

I thought the chance to interview someone from the local community was a great experience. I know it definitely opened my eyes to the people around me and the diversity of each person’s story. I don’t think I would have had an opportunity like this at a public school. I think getting out into the real world and familiarizing ourselves with adults and the bigger picture is kind of what our school is about. I am glad I got to be part of this, especially because it was so much fun.
