Profile Assignment

So... I seem to be posting quite a bit tonight but I wanted to write one more post on the profile assignment we did.

Truthfully, when I found out that I would have to find someone to interview in the community, I was very discouraged. Some of my friends, who took English 120 last semester, only had to write a profile on a fellow classmate.

After completing the assignment, however, I believe it was a really great experience.

I interviewed Dean Hornbacher, a relative of mine I have never met before. It gave me the opportunity to learn more about my family history. It also forced me out of my comfort zone a little bit. And... it seemed a lot more legit I guess? I don't know... that's not really the word I want to use. It just seemed important I suppose. Although I was a little intimidated, I know it was a good experience.

I think this was a lot better than simply writing the profile on a classmate.
