I did the Interview

It was great!

Here is a little snip-it of the conversation...

Josiah "If you could describe Vitamin L in one word what would that be?"
Mrs. Little "Empowering."
Josiah "Why?"
Mrs. Little "Empowering because..." (she talked about it)
Josiah "I'm going to bring the camera closer, don't be nervous, can you just say empowering again?"
...

She was very nice and approachable. I knew that because I had informally met her before last time I was at South Hill, and her emails were very nice as well.

The interview got started late because she was very busy, and the nurse and a teacher and a kid came into her office separately to see her. I really appreciate that she took the time to meet with me in her busy schedule.
One of the hardest things about the interview was not saying "uh huh" and "yeah" whenever she was talking. I accidentally did this during my practice interview a couple weeks ago and it is still a challenge.
One of the things that is out of my comfort zone is telling adults what they need to do. I should have told her how I wanted her to answer the questions. She did an amazing job being expressive and complimenting Vitamin L, but her answers didn't make sense without my question. I should have told her "I need you to answer my questions in complete sentences, with the question in the answer so that my voice asking the question doesn't need to be in the video."

I have a chance to do this tomorrow morning when I interview the teacher at BJM.
Today was a Success! I'm nervous and excited for tomorrow.
