On The Interview

In English Comp. we are writing a profile paper on an individual in our field of study. We must decide who is to be our subject, interview them about their life/work/study/stuff, and write a paper about them with an angle. I'm a pre-pharmacy student, and my mom is a pharmacy tech, so I got her to set me up an interview with one of her bosses, Mrs. Cathy Cowart.

On the Friday morning before the draft was due, I met Mrs. Cowart for lunch at Moe's. I showed up about 15 minutes early, so I went ahead and ordered my lunch. Chicken and cheese burrito and sweet tea. When she came in, it was pretty awkward. I hadn't seen her in forever, and I didn't know what to say. So, I walked up, shook her hand, introduced myself, and tried not to throw up. I was so nervous. After she got her food and sat down, I just started as flat out as I could. I said that my paper was about someone in my field, and that it was awesome that she could come. I remember I kept agreeing with what she said, but I didn't have a clue some times.

Well the interview went alright. I copied down some things, but most stuff, I kept via memory. We talked about college, about jobs, and about life. After the interview stuff was over, I just asked her some questions about what I should do with my college stuff. We stood up, shook hands, said our goodbyes, and went on our way. It ended up being a very nice experience. Mrs. Cathy was an awesome lady, and I hope to see her again soon.
