Interview Preparation

Content

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?

 

I plan to interview Rachel Shur. She was my mentor during my 10- hour volunteering at her organization, UCAAN. Rachel is a cancer survivor herself. She survived Leukemia. She has such a positive perspective about every little thing in life and I really admire that. I think she would be the perfect person for my first interview.

 

2.  You have to ask 5 questions.  What additional questions do you plan to ask?

 

Additional questions that I plan to ask include:

• What was the very first thought that popped into your head when you found out that you had cancer?
• On a scale of 1-10, how afraid were you?
• Did you think survival was possible?
• How did your loved ones react to your diagnosis?
• What did you do in the hospital during your spare time?
• What made you comfortable while you were in the hospital?
• What pushed you to start your cancer organization, UCAAN?
• What is the benefit that cancer survivors get from your organization?
