In the process of my capstone project, I have to get an interview. The purpose of the interview is to get more detail about my topic. It can significantly help make the final project better and answer more questions. I think that the research process is a good step because researching always gives you a lot of good ideas but it’s a good thing to have an interview because it can help you push your work to a better level and answer more questions you might have about your topic.

    The process of figuring out who to interview was very challenging for me. It was challenging for me because at the start when I called a zoo that had dolphins in them nobody answered for multiple days. That was already challenging but then when I met with my teachers Mrs. Robert and Mrs. Mcshane I thought that I would get an interview. But it’s not that simple we had to send some emails and not everyone said yes but then somebody actually said yes. It made me happy to know that I could learn more about my topic and have an interview. One easy thing was actually doing the interview because the only thing I had to do was send the questions to my interviewer and they just had to respond. A challenge for me was definitely getting an interview because I had to contact many people. Writing questions for me was generally not very hard because coming up with questions was just things you wanted to know so if you wanted to know what part of the brain dolphins use to communicate you could ask it in your interview questions.

   My experience conducting the interview was a good experience for me because it did not take a long time to get my interviewer’s response back. It was also a good experience because for me writing the email made it less challenging if the person did not know what the answer to the question was. It did not go as I expected it to go because I thought that I was going to do a zoom and that it would take a long time to actually get the answer. I was wrong because both of my interviews were emails and it did not take a long time to get a response. Some new facts that I learned from my interview were Echolocation is a process used by the species that have it for sensing the environment when vision is no longer useful. Another interesting fact I learned is that scientists still do not fully understand the intelligence of dolphins. This makes me wonder can they be smarter than they are understood by scientists.

   In conclusion, the interview has been hard, easy, and very helpful for getting more information.
