During this trying time due to Covid-19 I have had to make some adjustments to what I have wanted to do and who I have wanted to interview for my blog. That being said, I sat down and realized that I would follow up my previous story on the University of Wyoming’s Livestock Judging Coach, with an interview of a team member. So how lucky am I that my twin sister was on the team with me!
Moving into the actual interviewing portion of this I was blessed with the fact that I have known this person since birth (haha), so it was no an awkward situation for either of us. However, trying to get a good interview was actually kind of hard and we had to redo it several times to make sure it was how I wanted it or needed it to be. The app that I used to do the recording and editing was pretty hard to use, and I found it difficult to cut things out and make it not sound choppy. I found some success in this and some not so great moments, but that’s life right?
Above it is clear to see that Stephanie has a deep love and appreciation for livestock and everything that comes with it. Looking at the photo I took of Stephanie, I got lucky that we had a friend with an old show steer we were helping with. As you can tell Teddy certainly earned his name as he was a big softy! I didn’t find it hard at all to get this photo, but it was honestly just pure luck.
No doubt as a future educator I can use the information and the materiel that I gathered and learned through this assignment to not only interview my future students and FFA Chapter members but I can also see me putting together a lesson for them as well. I think knowing how to interview someone is a vital skill that everyone should know.
