For this 2nd phase, I wasn’t really that nervous. I’m not much of a talker but having to interview someone was a lot more fun that I expected. It was really interesting and helpful in getting to know my partner more. I feel like it helped my partner to reflect on the memory they wrote about and what else they needed to say with just the right questions to go more into depth about why they wrote that specific memory.

It also helped me speak more about my own writing and think about things that I’ve never thought about. I feel like with the interviews, it helped everyone dive in more deeper into not only everyone’s narrative, but also their own. There were some things that probably needed to be clarified and with the profiles, it likely helped everyone clarify those things.
