The purpose of an interview for this capstone project is to get more information on your topic. This may be a better way to get information because they may have more to say on the topic. This can be helpful to because if the person was someone who experienced what your topic is it would give even more information.
Right, when I picked the topic of the second congo war I knew it would be very hard to find someone to interview. First when trying to find someone to interview I thought that I should look up the congo embassy in us. But after looking at it I realized that it was more of a business center than just people from congo so I moved on. Then I thought of the u.s embassiter of congo. Once I found out who he was I realized that this would b hard to get him and him having time for me but still I went to reach out to him. I did not know how to get his email but I knew he would have a social media account. After I realized that he would probably have a social media account I proceeded to download Twitter and DM him. But not to my surprise he did not answer. After him not respond I thought that I was done for. So I decided to get researching until I have an Idea. The next day I was working on my project and looking on sites that had information on the second congo war and at the bottom of the site it stated who made it and I looked her up and it turned out that she was a professor at SUNY Brockport College. This sounds great so I emailed her with my mom’s help and the next day she replied saying that she would love to do it and was free at 4:00 on the 18th. I was very excited when she reponed, but I knew that I had to get to work and start making my questions for her because she said she would like them on that Monday. When I was making the questions I knew that I would want to get more information on my topic overall but also the parts that were hard to find on the web or in books.
My experience during the interview was amazing. My interview was with a professor a SUNY Brockport College. She was very helpful. When I went to interview her I did not know what to expect. Although I did not know her when I would email her she would be really nice. I did not have any exceptions but if I did have them they would be far exceeded. She was very helpful. For example, one very interesting thing that I learned was that when children when going to the millinery the family would be very pressed because they would offer the family money which at the time they really needed. I thought this was interesting because if the family was despite then they may send their kid away on purpose which does not sound good but in reality, they were despite
This project has been going great. Although I know that I am not done with capstone it is been a rollercoaster so far. From the decision on my topic to my very helpful interview to all of the research, I have been doing. I can not want the challenges to face at capcon and the big day.
