[edit] Interview with Neil by Kathleen
Neil Dias was born April 16, 1988 in Long Island, NY, where he has lived all his life. Neil is the youngest of three, he has an older brother who is twenty seven who is a mortage banker and an older sister, twenty two, who is a graduate of Boston University and is currently looking for a job in the field of psychology. he also said he is very close with his family.
I asked him to describe himself and the words that came to mind were "adventureous, determined, and loyal". When he said this i found it kind of funny because when i asked him about high school he said he was a slacker, slept alot in class. he felt as though he wasnt being challeneged, thus having no motivation.
Every person has their own likes and dislikes. I find it interesting to talk to people form New York because the first question I ask is are you a Yankees or a Mets fan, because of the passion I have for baseball and living in a baseball town and near Boston I grew up loving the Red Sox. Some of Neil's likes are obviously the Yankees, he also likes football, he's a Giants fan, his freinds, he enjoys hanging out and partying with those friends, music-hip hop, rap, and some rock and roll. As for dislikes he doesnt like not getting his sleep.
As for college, I asked him about the goals he has. As for goals Neil wants to do well, he is going for a degree in finance, he also plans to continue his education and go for his masters. I also asked him about his future and where he saw himself in ten years. When asked where he saw himself in ten years he said, " With a family. Living in Long Island. Investment Banker. Retiring early and then opening a business."
Finally i thought it be interesting to ask one last question. I asked "What is one thing you believe in for live by?(Like a moto)" He said " You chose your own destiny"
[edit] Neil's Response to Intro
I like how Kathleen organized my introduction, also the flow was very smooth. However I feel that there were no surprises to me and I feel like I didn't really perceive Kathleen's thoughts and assumptions about myself, based on our interview. Since we only had about 5-10 minutes interviewing each other, I feel like it was impossible to discover her identity, and for her to discover mine. We could only list facts about each other and make assumptions. Kathleen did a good job on my introduction and I especially like the way she ended it because it doesn't just end with a boring fact...it ends with a quote from myself, which is one of my beliefs. It also gets you more interested in the interviewee and wanting to read more about that person.
