I chose to interview a family member that had just taken her first born daughter to kindergarten for the first time. This family member is my cousin that is recently married; specifically about a year ago. The name of my cousin is fatmah. I hoose her because I
know that this is significant milestone for her and her small family. The interview will take place at her house on the next day after her daughter joins kindergarten. The meeting will take a maximum of two hours. I plan to ask her just a few questions about her emotions
and that of her daughter. why she chose that specific school and did she think, sh made the right choice. Also, I will ask her she prepared herself and her daughter for this day.
I enjoyed the interview because it gave the opportunity to practice something I have never done before. Since the interviwe was a family member. it was a real experince especially because it the first time for me. My cousin, fatmah is very friendly, and I was
greateful that she sacificed her time that she was supposed to rest from work to do the interview. I arrived at the interview vebue on time and interstingly, she was alreadly ready. The interview took a shorter time that I planned for, gibing a chance to emsure I had asked
all the questions and that I had all my notes. This exercise, additionally, enabled me to know her and her daughter even better as family members. fatmaj was nervous at first, but I managed to make her comfortavle. I let her express her feelings and listened to all what
had to say. Futhermore, I let her choose a position for us to sit, that made her comfertable.
In my interview guide, I have included the following: First I will introduce myself and then let the interviewee do the same. However, since the interviewee is the family member, I will let her know what has been happening in my life as of late and her do
give her an opportunity to say whether she is comfortable to answer them or not. After that, we will schedule the interview.
I liked to be the interviewer because I have watched many interviews, but this time it was my time to ask the questions. It was a good experience.
During the interview, I encountered problems like lack of concentration. The reason for this is that the interviewee is a family member, and so there werer many occasions during the interview that we started talking about family issues. Another problem is
that the interviewee was distracted by her mobile phone with calls from her work. It was not possible to ask her to switch it off because the interview was just for class project.
The details that I found to be irrelevant were those involved family issues because they were not related to the interview. I would ask her if what mistakes she would avoid when she takes second child to kindergarten for the first time. What lessons did she learn from the experience with her first born daughter?
Now please carry out the interview and submit a summary of the data.
