Interview

I interviewed Piper Krenik, she is my roommate and good friend. My questions had both short and long ended questions so I could find out what she did for fun and which hobbies and activities she has done. She expressed that she liked to swim and dance, however these were just fun things to do. They are hobbies or even a part of her life. I started out by just asking about simple questions that got the basic information I needed. My first question to her is what does he do for fun or in her free time. Piper informed me that she barely has enough time to do the activities she likes. But when she has time she occupies that time with swimming and dancing. When I asked the question of which of these two hobbies were her favorite she said, “Out of the two activities I listed, I like to dance better and I love to watch it way more.” During the interview I asked if these activities were able to be done with friends or even as a team. She explained that dance was a team sport and there needed to be more than just one person to complete the task, with swimming it is an individual activity with a team aspect. Piper has been swimming since she was a young girl in swimming lessons as a kid. She has continued because she enjoyed it and she saw an opportunity to make a job out of it. She now works at the NDSU wellness center and she also works at her home town pool. She has been at the pool in her town since she was 15 years old. I asked Piper how much she does these activities, she said that she never gets to dance anymore, however with swimming she does it every week. I asked Piper why she started these activities and she said, “I swim because I am a lifeguard in the summers and actually work at the ndsu wellness center. But I also dance because it is fun and I love to watch all different kinds of dance as well.” Piper has given me tons of information to help me understand why she likes these activities. The last question I asked that was going to help me completely understand was ‘For these activities what do you wear for each of them’, she said, “For swimming I wear a swimsuit and since I am a lifeguard it needs to be a specific type for job requirements. For dance they have all different types of uniforms and outfits. For practice it is just whatever you want to wear. FOr meets or competitions it is specific and matches all of the other teams”. Piper gave me tons of great information for my interview.
