Starting out in my internship without knowing who works there made me feel nervous. So whenever I talked with someone who works there I was really nervous to approach them. I would think that I'm a open-minded person but I never had the chance to explain that to people. so when I interviewed Cathryn I really like the way that she thought and explained her thoughts because I thought it was similar to the way that I think. When she talks about how she was younger and had a growth from there to now she explains how she perceived the world as that age and how she perceives the world in this age now. Further on in the interview she explains “We're not learning to cope with who we are as things are happening and that definitely learn how to deal with stuff with confronting and taking the time to do that and be sad and it's okay not to be 100% all the time and slowing down that's a big foot in that feels good to share.” With what I learned from that was just what the time you have, spend it on yourself to do some self-reflection and know what you like so that you can benefit from it and you will learn later on how to overcome burdens and situations like that. For example for her to relax you would do yoga and meditate and listen to some samples. She knows what she likes so that she can relax and she wants others to spend more time with themselves rather than mold yourself to what others like. Earlier on in the interview she says “Farmers here look at us demonstrating, here we are still up on this Podium and then there's always going to be a separation of people that are like students and looking up towards this Podium” I like the way that she explains and how she uses imagery to describe the separation between her and her students. And it makes me realize that most of society is now like this where people have to look up to that podium to learn but she changes things by bringing herself down from that podium and being with the people to teach them. She says that she want to be like “Hey, we're all going to come at this together and we're not trying to rush ahead and like how can we form these connections and get everyone feeling really good.”
Overall the ways that she worded everything and explained her thoughts, she did it with detail and deep thoughts that I was able to understand what type of person she was and know a little bit more of who she is. Slowly I was able to be more comfortable to ask questions and learn more from her.
