 Reflection to Interview
                                                                           My Reflection
          The interview was a new experience for me because I never before interviewed an expert, for a 

paper I was writing. The interview was a success because I was able to find out new information on 

my topic of how HIV/AIDS has impacted mankind. I decided to interview a teacher that I knew had 

been affected by the disease and allow her to tell me her story. Later on I decided that I would use 

the response in my research as part of the section of how HIV/AIDS affects a person. This interview 

will also serve as an appeal to pathos because it is an emotional take on a person’s hardship of 

dealing with the disease. 


            Although this interview consisted mostly about a person’s life, I still gained a lot of insight 

on how HIV/AIDS really can be described as the deadliest epidemic. The story of my interviewer is 

not rare, but common, even to this day of many who are going through the same struggles. Also, 

conducting this interview has driven me to be more aware of how an urgent need for a cure needs to 

exist. I do not want other kids like my teacher to go through the same issues at such a young age. All 

in all, this interview will be very helpful and give my audience a more in depth feel of how 

HIV/AIDS can affect someone, when I include it in my research paper.

The difficulties they face are unfair and unjust for a set  of people who want to change their lives for the better. The criminal justice system needs to help  people like them because they proved themselves to want to do better and actually make a  contribution to society. The system should help them by providing career programs in the prison, so  they can be well prepared once they leave the prison. Besides thi...

This article opened my eyes to the big mistakes many upcoming college students or  undergraduate students are making when it comes to choosing their major. Also the article discusses  the myths that many upcoming upcoming college students believe as they are about to enter school.  The myth that surprised me the most  was “choice of major matters more than choice of  college”( nytimes.com ). This myth can be related to myself because I also focused more on choosing  my major than ...
