My Interview

    My interview went very well.  It surprised me how easy it actually was once I got started.  The whole interview had a great flow to it and it when by very quickly.  I found it interesting how many experiences he'd had with student free speech.  Every one of his answers was backed up with real examples of cases he'd had.  It was obvious that he knew a lot about the topic, and it was cool to hear the opinions of someone who has had so much experience with it.  I did not learn a lot of new information from the interview, but I did gain more perspective on the issue.  Sean told me that he believed that introducing new ideas should be allowed, and he thought open debate was great for schools as long as it wasn't forcing or confrontational.  When asked if he thought anything should be changed in schools, he responded that schools should provide more information on what is permitted, he believed that their should be a clearer understanding among the students. 
    The hardest part of the interview was coming up with good questions.  I had to think of questions that would spark converstation and keep the interview flowing.  I feel like I did do a good job of this, though.  I really enjoyed the interview itself.  I was a little nervous to start with, but once I got into it it was fun.  It was cool to speak to someone who knew so much about this topic that I had been learning about, and it was fun to use what I had learned to have a deep conversation with them.  Sean was a really good guy to interview, he's a really smart and nice guy, and I learned a lot from him.
