This week instead of interviewing someone, I decided to stop and kind of examine what I've learned and some issues that have come up while doing this project.
I have decided that the very last interview, I will do the interview for myself. I've learned a lot about different people while doing this blog, and I have enjoyed it immensely. I've learned more about what makes people tick. I've also realized that some people seem to have more of a clue about things around them than I do. It has challenged me to begin to investigate things for myself and form my own opinions and thoughts about issues instead of simply accepting what the world and what media tries to spoon feed us.
Some people have expressed concern over the people that I have chosen to interview, saying that they are bad influences or that I should be careful treading near certain subjects. I appreciate their concern but the people that I have been interviewing have been important parts of my life, and they have helped shape me into the person that I am now. Some people have judged the people that I have interviewed based on their answers. Please don't do that. Realize that as an interview, and as simply words on a screen, that the right emphasis and quirks of the people are lost. Take some time to sit down with the people that I have interviewed to get to know them better. They truly are incredible people.
