Peer Interview



The other day, I got to “interview” two of my classmates who I did not know very much about. I interviewed Liam and Meghan. Fortunately, after asking them various questions about many different things, I got to know each of them a little better. Some of their answers I was a little shocked about. But, after asking them the questions I had for them, I feel like I know them a lot better.

One of the questions I asked was, “What was the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen a stranger do in public?” and with both of their answers and after thinking about it myself, I have definitely not seen either of the things they have. Liam answered first; he explained that, “The people just kept doing very awkward movements.” Then Meghan answered sounding very amused that “Some lady started putting on deodorant in the middle of a restaurant!” After she finished laughing, she also explained that it was one of the grossest things she has ever seen. Another question I asked each of them was if they had ever broken a bone. Liam explained that he has broken three bones; his finger, his leg, and his arm, while Meghan on the other hand has only broken her toe. After that I asked Liam and Meghan if they could travel anywhere in the world, without having to worry about money, where would they go and what would they do while there were there. Again, Liam answered first and stated that he would, “Go to Hawaii or even Australia to see all of the different animals that we don’t have here.” Then Meghan answered, much like Liam, that she would also go to Hawaii as well and she would learn to surf if she ever got the chance to go there. Also, Liam’s biggest fear is being buried alive and after thinking for a bit, Meghan explained that her biggest fear has to be either spiders or drowning. Lastly, I asked each of my partners in all of their lives, what has got to be the worst present they’ve ever received? Liam answered first again and he said that the worst present he has ever gotten was “Definitely socks!” Meghan was soon to answer and had a similar answer to Liam’s. She said that the worst present she has ever gotten was either, “Socks or toothpaste.” Both seem pretty boring to me!

I’m glad I got to ask questions to both Liam and Meghan and I am glad I got to know them each a little better! Hopefully over the year I’ll get to know all of my classmates better.
