INTERVIEW TIME
One of the best parts of my job has now started. Tuesday and Wednesday of last week I spent all day at East High School interviewing students for scholarships. Other area high schools are on the agenda for the next couple of weeks.
Over the period of those two days I met about 30 excellent students from East. Each interview was scheduled for 20 minutes but - because everyone seems to have so much going on - it was hard to get them done and keep on schedule.
I love this time of year because speaking with the kids and learning all about them is so energizing. All of the kids I met have done so much already and - more importantly - have such big plans and goals. Everyone seems to be brimming with potential.
I am not going to give away too much as far as advice for those planning their own interviews, but just suffice to say, be yourself and have a good time with it. I don't bite and am eager to learn who you are and what has brought you thus far. The best way for you to do that is to be yourself.
