He stayed in Georgia to complete his undergraduate academic studies at Berry College, which is Rome, Georgia. While at Berry College he majored in athletic training.

I began by asking Christian if I could get him something to drink, such as water or a cup of coffee. Christian said he was all right. I told him to give me a second while I grab my things and I will be right in to talk with him. I reintroduced myself to Christian as I had done previously at the jail. I explained to him that I am an investigator with the Muskogee Police Department and I am going to talk to him about why he is here. I stated that prior to speaking with him; I am going to read him his rights. This way he would be informed of his rights prior to talking with me. I also told him should he change his mind about wanting a cup of water or coffee to let me know and I would gladly go and get…
He stated, "I never told you, but our life is a war and I have been a traitor all my born days, a spy in the enemy's country ever since I give up my gun back in the Reconstruction" (297). This puzzled the family greatly. It was up to them to interpret what the Grandfather meant. Ellison felt confused because he did not understand his Grandfathers cautious way of telling him how the world is, how he will always be the minority and that he must be able to think for himself. In Kincaid's "Girl" her mother states "this is how to love a man, and if this doesn't work there are other ways, and if they don't work don't feel bad about giving up" (402). Her mother's repeated dire predictions have a way of becoming truth. I say this because I avoided a lot of things my mother warned me about and ended up regretting it; however, mothers can try too hard sometimes. I believe this level of communication is essential in a mother-daughter relationship, women are inextricably bonded by something that neither ethnicity nor age nor stage of life can…

I chose to interview my step mother’s grandparents for my 1960s interview paper. I interviewed them Saturday, February 13 at their home in Zanesville, Ohio. Her grandfather’s name in Andy and her grandmother’s name is Karen. In 1960, they were both 19 years old. I chose them for this interview because they were alive and well during the 60s and because I believe the 60s were a very impactful time period for them.…
Nick: “It is the conservative part of the Republican Party. I would interject that Reagan was not the brain of everything, but was a good organizer. He surrounded himself with high quality and smart people but also kept them under control. Reagan was also responsible for the tearing down wall between East and West Berlin. I do not remember anything being referred to the New Right, but it’s just an expansion of conservatism and good American thinking.”…

4). I was in excruciating pain near my ribs, and the frothy blood that occurred when I cough worried me. I remember trying to stay in high-spirits for Nancy’s sakes, and when someone asked how I felt I can remember saying,"[a]ll in all, I 'd rather be in Philadelphia"(Ronald Reagan Official Site, 2008, para. 9).…
I chose to interview a close friend of mine, Rheanna Pieroni. Rheanna has been a friend of mine for ten years and counting.

The class requires her to read the same book as us, A Different Mirror. Rheannas ancestors originated in Italy and Germany. Her cultural background revolves…
My cultural interview was with a coworker, 28 years of age and of Hispanic descent. While conducting the interview I learned a lot about the Hispanic culture. Many Hispanics like to be called Latino (a). Some do not like to be referred to as Mexican when they are from other countries other than Mexico. Hispanics also use slang within their culture just like African Americans. Within the culture the male is the dominant figure in the household. All the decisions that affect the family go through the father. If there is no father in the house, the oldest son fulfills that role. The older son may drop out of school so that they may assist the mother at the house in the absence of the father. Many Hispanics usually marry fairly young and start to raise a family. When they get older they usually do not marry, but live together like husband and wife. The average number of members within the family is 7 including the mother and father. The mother is usually the caregiver and stays home to look after the children. The oldest daughter steps in and helps the mother out whenever she can. The grandparents are considered the second mom and dad. Their cousins are regarded as an extension of their siblings. My interviewee has 2 brothers who she is very close to. If her brothers tell her to do something even at age 28 she really makes sure she follows their directives. Her mother is divorced from her father, but he still plays an active part in her and her brothers’ life. The relationship between the mother and father is still very close even though they are not married. The relationship between the mother’s new boyfriend and ex- husband is very cordial and respectful in an attempt to maintain a loving and positive environment for their family.…
Mexican culture is colorful and rich, enriched with pride and heritage. Family values and strong moral constitution have sustained the culture for hundreds of years. I have had the pleasure to interact and consort with the Mexican culture most of my life in the business that I'm in. Dedication and hard work are the stables that bound the stigma of the Mexican culture. Being that I truly honor the culture I have chosen a friend of mine that I work with to perform my interview upon. My interviewee is Maria Dimas; she was born in Cancun Mexico but has lived most of her life in the United States.…
As I age, I hope to only be half of the person Toby is. At age seventy six, Toby has lived his life to where he has taught himself not to regret, get angry, or judge any other person. He has seen three different countries, several different states, and hundreds of different people. For a man who has not taken the best care of himself health wise, was drafted into the Vietnam War, and lost his wife, Toby amazes me with how well he still functions in everyday life.…
If given the chance, I would interview Bill Gates. I want to do this even though he is the big bad wold of the technological era. I want to do this even though he is the evil Internet baron that wants to squash the little guy. He is worth about $59 billion, and at one point was around $100 billion. I want to do this because he too was once the little guy, and through genius, innovation, and a large amount of luck, he became the richest man in the world, and by doing so, he changed the way people think about money. Bill Gates represents the goal that all business men strive to realize. To quote Ted Fishman, "He may actually represent a new idea of human potential." Bill Gates, with the help of two trusted friends, started Microsoft in 1975 from the ground up. He left Harvard in his junior year to work on the company. Making a deal with IBM, he developed MS-DOS, which was the first major operating system, in the mid to late 1980s. He then created Windows in 1989. Microsoft skyrocketed from there. From that catapult launch, Microsoft began manufacturing other applications, games, and tools for businesses and individuals alike.…
