Personal Narrative: My Interview With Dr. Kahn
Earlier this semester I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Kahn, and asked him some questions. I was interested in asking him questions because I had admired him as a teacher, and a person throughout the semester. I had never met someone who appeared as intelligent as Dr. Kahn, but was also down to earth. In class he spoke in a way that was easy to understand, he also accepted, and answered our questions no matter how ignorant, or insignificant. I knew Dr. Kahn’s background from his personal introduction at the beginning of the semester. Consequently I knew that he had moved around a fair amount in his life. As a result of this knowledge I asked him to tell me about how growing up in different places, particularly America has impacted him, and his faith. He explained to me that different settings helped to understand different views. I could relate to this idea because before coming to school at Rochester College I came from a very small town, and had very limited views. I can understand how moving to different settings could impact, and bring a more comprehensive view on many issues. After asking this first question I realized I did not know, or had forgotten, what Dr. Kahn …show more content…
The first how he felt about being visible in the media, and the world. He said that he views it as going to work, and that he loves the feeling that he can make a difference in the world. He also told me that he loves the fact that the life he leads, and his achievements are something that he did himself, and he did not need to rely on anything besides his own hard work. My final question was if Dr. Kahn had always read the amount of news he currently reads, or if it was a result of his current career. He told me that his greatest fear was not knowing, or forgetting something, so he was willing to put in the work of reading the current events, and issues from many

    Throughout my life I have encountered many circumstances that have shaped me into the person I am today. I was born in Moroleon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I attended school in Mexico all the way to second grade. In the summer of 2006 I moved to Cumming, Georgia. It was the hardest thing to do because I left everything that I care the most about. We lived in a trailer which was not the nicest place and in the middle of the forest. I started school at the beginning of August. I had always loved school so I was so excited for the first day. I knew it was going to be hard because I would have to conquer so many obstacles on the way. At this time the only English I knew was probably counting from one to ten and some of the colors. My Father knew some…

    Kay’s impressive education background. The blurb about Dr. Kay reveals that he went to Harvard and NYU, both really good schools. The title of this blurb is “Meet the Head of School”, by putting where he went to college before any other information, shows how schechter prioritizes good education when it comes to faculty and administration. Additionally, in the faculty biographies on the website, they are centered around where the educator received their degrees. Since our school flaunts that the head of our school has a good education, it shows that Schechter wants to send a message that they value getting a good education and having the best of the best when it comes to faculty and administration. Schechter wishes to prove to prospective families that if they send their children to Schechter, the school would make sure they are getting the best education from the best educators. It is important that Schechter specifies that they are concerned about helping their students get a good education, because it sets them apart from other schools. The ninth source backs up my answer because it proves that by including where Dr. Kay got his education, that education is important to…

    A leader in the field of medicine that truly inspired me to gravitate towards a career in medicine is retired neurosurgeon Benjamin Carson. Benjamin Carson an african-american neurosurgeon and was the first neurosurgeon to separate conjoined twins. HOwever, I’m not inspired by Carson’s achievement, I am greatly inspired by his story on how he was able to achieve success. Dr. Carson was raised by a single mother, in a very tough society. He always struggled with school, and especially his anger. His mother urged him to work hard, and go to the library to read books. Although after a lot of continuous nagging, Carson eventually listened to his mother and began to read books at the library. HE began to see the beauty of knowledge, and education. He began to see the beauty of life itself.…

    In chapter 12, the key event to me was when Claudia and Finn talked to each other through the keys. I felt many emotions when reading their interaction one of them being happy. I felt happy when they talked to each other because it was a turning point in the story in my opinion. I also felt surprised because at first, I thought by having two keys, there would be a lock that would need both keys to hear and speak to each other. I also felt confused by the way they conversed; How could they now hear each other but not before. I think by having one key being touched, the other key can hear because on page 153 Claudia says she breathed and rubbed on the key making it warm and on page 154 Finn says when he touches the key it's warm.I like the way the author wrote the scene from both perspectives, it gave us the readers a clearer understanding of how both Finn and Claudia felt. I also like how the author described the way both keys affect each other and have a "key" connection.…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

    There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…

    When I was asked to interview a Psychology Professor in order to get to know the Psychology Department better, and to broaden my knowledge in the field of Psychology, I was very excited. Psychology was never offered as a class at my high school, and all that I know about Psychology I learned from my mother. As much as I was very excited to get to know about Psychology and a Psychology Professor, I was a little nervous about meeting and talking with a professor who I had never met before. I built up the guts and courage and emailed Professor McIntyre and asked her if she would be willing to meet with me. She was delighted to meet with me, but could only interview over the phone because she needed to be home with her new baby girl. I would like…

    Today was the day. The big day. My election for Lieutenant Governor of Division 2B for Key Club, an international service club, was today. Fear and anxiety pricked my skin in rapid movements emanating from every pore. I rehearsed my speech for the fifth time that day. Upon arrival at the Fairfax Library, I urged myself to remain calm. I quickly scouted out the other girls who were present; one girl was dressed professionally with a folder in her hand. I knew that was my competition. The girl spoke eloquently and genially, she radiated enthusiasm and a certain warmth that I did not have. With every question that was asked, she answered with a smooth smile and high-pitched tone that was dripping with sincerity. I bristled inside; I had just been slapped. I was shrouded in a cloud of anxiety and anxiousness. Suddenly, I was dragged from my reverie.…

    There I was laying on the field, during the second half of my football game, tossing and turning as I held my right shoulder in agonizing pain. I looked up only to see the trainer looking down at me with a concerned look. “What’s wrong?” he asked. Repeatedly I tapped my shoulder as I was struggling to get the words out. He helped me up and walked me back to the sideline. I waited for what seemed like hours for the game to end. A few days later, I went to a local doctor to get an X-ray. The doctor told me that there was nothing wrong and that the pain should subside in a couple of days, and it did. Later in the season as I went in for a tackle, I felt my shoulder pop. Immediately I was in pain and thought to myself, “ It happened again.” This…
