Personal Narrative: My Interview With Mr. Hugh Jundies

The person I interviewed was Mr. Hugh Jundies. Throughout the interview I tried to help Hugh by helping him process through his goal. I think this helped him really make sure the goal was his own and not someone else’s. After much processing he came up with his goal. His goal for the year is to do well in the blended program. This is important to him because he thinks that getting a higher GPA shows that he has higher dedication to the subject. He also feels as though, the more focus and time he puts into it, then the more knowledge and understanding of the subject. He also mentioned that getting great grades would make him feel better about himself. It also would prove to himself that he balanced his responsibilities well. After he told me
He would also declare himself as a professional procrastinator. He told me that he tends to cram 3 days’ worth of work into one day; and sometimes he would only give himself four or five hours to do that much work. One of his biggest excuses, he says, is that his professor is typically an easy grader therefore, he does not have to work as hard. Another excuse he uses is that “I am always late so the professor will understand.” Being vague seems to be a problem in Hugh’s life. So, when he had to make a more specific goal, I helped him process that as well. He ended up with the goal to get all A’s in his masters classes. He also wants to understand the course assignments more clearly. He wants to start on this goal right away. When I asked him why it was so important for him to start as soon as possible, he said “the earlier the better”. The earlier he creates a set foundation the earlier he can create batter habits. He also said that he has finished one master’s class, and is taken one right now. In the class he finished he ended up with an A in and currently has an A in the class he is taking
