Interview Narrative
With a loud creak, the door of my sister’s apartment opens and in comes Brianna freshly from a long, hard day of work at the National Wildlife Research Center. She doesn’t seem to be in the best of moods at first, but as soon as she sees me she can’t help but grin, for we hadn’t seen each other in months. She takes a seat beside me on the small yet comfortable couch in the center of her living room. As she had just gotten off of work she remains in her work clothes, which consists of a classy black polo. Khaki pants, and a pair of dainty black flats. I let her relax for a couple moments and then I begin asking her questions about her past and high school experience. She then begins fondly reminiscing on her former memories of the activities, goals, and such that she had and took part in throughout high school. She first begins by recalling the goals she once had throughout high school and what measures she took to try and reach them. Her biggest goal in high school starting from freshman year was to obtain a 4.0 GPA and letter in academics. She studied awfully hard and really focused on her academics to attempt to achieve her goal. Unfortunately she did not reach this goal, “I got very close, having all A’s and one B my sophomore year,” she says disappointedly. However, it seems that she has made her way passed it as she says, “It was kind of devastating if I’m honest, but I mean what can I do now, I’ve moved on.” This then lead to a description of how the triumphs and trials she encountered helped her to be more prepared to face the world after high school. She describes high school as “just another four years of my life,” and that what took place then doesn’t really affect her regularly today. “High school showed me that if life brings you down, you will get back up, move on, and get through it; there is always a new tomorrow.” Brianna seemed very proud to say that she took part in plenty of extra curricular activities at her
