"My first interview experience in class"

     I worked with Qian and Sanjina. I learned a lot about their cultures. From Qian, I learned a lot about her school system and how it worked. She explained how she went to boarding school starting at middle school continuing till high school. She explained how they had morning classes, then a break, afternoon classes, then a break, and then evening classes. Qian also explained how school is very competitive, and how students are always trying to be the top student. I also learned about the different wedding traditions in China. From Sanjina I learned about the different wedding traditions of Nepal. I learned that the ceremony usually lasts six to seven hours, and then the reception is the next day. Also, I learned that the bride and the groom have different receptions. Sometimes it was really hard to ask the question so that they understood, sometimes they weren't exactly sure what I was asking. I felt bad about it, because I wasn't sure how to exactly explain my question in a way so that they understood. It definitely prepared me for the "real" interviews. I feel more confident now, and realized what I can do differently so that the interview flows better. It was really good experience, because now I have knowledge of what to expect and what I can do to make both of us feel more comforatable and not so nervous about the interview process.
