My interview with Roy Lyon

      

       This project meant a lot to me, and i enjoyed it a lot. When we were first assigned this, I was nervous and did not know what to think. During the interview i started to enjoy this project more than I had thought. The thing that meant the most to me was being able to hear the stories and past of Roy. I had no clue of any of the things he had told me, and I learned what kind of a man he was just by listening to his words. During the writing and reporting process, I learned that it is not a cake walk and it takes a lot of thought and re arranging. It was difficult because I was given so many topics to that i could write about but could only choose a few, and try to get the best of his quotes on those topics.

        There were two passages that I thought the writing was at its best, and the first was when he was talking about his wife. He is a strong believer of marriage and this showed how he was raised and how he lives. "When you take your wedding vows you have to mean it, so when you say that you will support your wife or husband you need to mean it." This shows that he is very caring for his wife. A second passage was advice he gave to me, and other young adults. "Pay attention to what you're doing, learn from others, maintain a good work ethic, and maintain a good ethical standard for yourself. When you cheat others, you cheat yourself even more." This was an excellent quote and true in almost every way. I agreed with him completely on all of those.

I had mix feeling going back to my high school to meet with my teacher; it was May 8, Tuesday. As I walk through hallways, memories of the high school days drag me into the past. Those memories were both delightful delirious and there was some disappointments too. I walked toward room 204 to meet my teacher.

My name is Dagmar T. Wolcott. Actually, there was nothing much I regret. I will point out however I will regret that I wish I would have made more mistakes. I wish I was never afraid of mistakes, making mistakes and learning from each will would have really made me more mature and intelligent truly beyond my age. This is exactly what I tell my students. Makes mistakes I encourage them to, but never make two same mistakes twice. That will show you have never learned from it at the first time you have made. I really have learned more from my mistakes and every success I have accomplished, the cornerstone of it was by the mistakes made early and learning from it was what propels me to success.

Life naturally is full of struggle. I had family struggle which I was part of it and the family struggle really shaped my personality. I had personal struggle which set off quest for adventure and journey I have gone with to find myself and grow skills and understanding on how to deal with world problem as well as personal and family struggle. I also had struggle that comes with gender, as female I had my own struggle tackling on personal desire, what to become after college or If I will go to college after high school.

Life was very interesting for me when I was young. I have done almost everything young energetic teenager girl would have done, but with mastery and artistic ways. My childhood life and experience was filled with fun.

My parents were major influence in my life. But there were movie-stars, musicians and many people including friends who really influenced me into something that I have done, which in the hindsight, I find it to be silly but very educational experience for me. My teachers, in the middle school and high school as well as college professor really influenced me positively well.

Power to the people, I think that is the best things about American dream and changes. Every change is something Americans spark and individual citizen stir those changes. That is beauty of America. When I was in Younger, in high school or College, yes I have experienced some mysterious experiences that I am at lots of words. But I do think those things have made me stronger.
