Interview with a Nutritionist about Energy Drinks
Have you ever asked yourself if energy drinks are good or bad for your health? Well, that question came to my mind and many more. I see energy drinks everywhere I go, and that makes me feel intrigued. I see them in commercials, movies, my work, and school. It looks like it is cool to drink them. I have a lot of friends that drink energy drinks every day. I don’t know the side effects, but what I know is that energy drinks became very popular in the U.S. That’s why I decided to interview professional nutritionists. First, I sent emails to three different nutritionists of Santa Rosa Junior College. All of them replied it my email; one of them had medical problems, so she wasn’t able to do it. The second one was Anne O’Donnell. She said that she would be happy to help me, and she sent me her office time. I told her that I am a student of the ESL program, and I had to do an interview about energy drink. I explained to her that it would be just ten questions, and would only take less than 30 minutes. She was able to be my interviewee, and she was very kind also. Anne O’Donnell is a nutritionist who teaches Consumer & Family Studies in Santa Rosa Junior College. I am so glad that she was the nutritionist that helped me with my interview. First, I was so nervous about this interview even though she was very kind by email. I had many thoughts about how this interview would be. One of my worries was if she would understand my English. The interview was set for Thursday at 11:00 am. I drove 40 minutes from Sonoma to Santa Rosa, during that time, I practiced my questions. I got there around 10:30 am, so I had enough time to get into her office on time. I asked a student where I could find Garcia Hall, and he gave me some instructions. I was 15 minutes early the meeting at Anne’s office. When I opened the door, a lovely voice said my name, it was Anne. She was typing
