Interview


Today I interview Kevin which was really interesting. Kevin 20 years of age likes writing, he says “I’m pretty decent at it.” Being a good organizer helps him. That being said I asked, “Is it your habit to write to-do-lists?” His answer was a no. He writes music and he also tried raping it but raping just wasn’t for him because according to him he wasn’t very good at it. He says he’s not a poet but in a way he is for writing music. Something he’s good at is writing a thesis for any kind of writing. Currently, he only does short writing at his job and sending emails to his dad. He works at a sport store where he sometimes writes reports. Kevin sends weekly emails to his dad who lives in Chicago. Kevin was raised in Chicago and started college in Chicago as well. He went to Western Illinois University and Harper Community College. One of the classes that he took at WIU was English 121. Something they did in that class was peer work shopping. He said “It was difficult.” He explained that college in Chicago is way different from Colorado but he likes to expand his writing knowledge. He moved to Colorado a year ago and signed up to Front Range community College. He is giving English 121 another try. His goals this time are to work more on his weakness which are conclusions and “try to learn knowledge I already have.” Some problems he thinks he’ll be having are checking his D2L and going to his blog. Another thing he thinks he’ll have a problem with is having his portfolio with all his work. In Chicago he had the habit of throwing away his papers once graded. At the moment he’s not very familiar with the campus or the library since his first semester at FRCC was last semester. One of the advantages he has to be in English 121 is that he is a very good internet navigator. He also knows how to use computers very well. A reason why is because he took a computer class in high school. He has a laptop and a desktop at home which he uses to send emails and use Microsoft Word. He also listens to Pandora. On his playlist you’ll find rap and rock music. Interviewing Kevin was fun and interesting.
