Child Labor Interview Questions

I used the questions that were provided to me from my instructor. The interview went pretty long.

Said that most of her college friends moved away after they finished their degrees. Haley’s current hopes are too be accepted into graduate school and be able to offer group and additional mental health/therapy services to clients and residents and to be able to afford to buy a house so I can get four more dogs. Her current fears are financial stability, serial killers, and failure of any sort. Some accomplishments are Honors in Biology for undergraduate degree, gaining trust from clients and residents at work; prioritizing health and exercising regularly - completing 2 half marathons; finding a job that she loves doing. Current living relatives include the parents, regular phone/text conversations, visit every couple months. One brother, minimal communication, she says he is not a big talker and that they don't have a lot in common. Grandparents on mom's side is living and they visit when Haley comes home and they talk at least once month, they differ greatly on belief systems and values leading, it has led to conflict at times. Not close to father’s side other than a couple cousins she talks to every once in a while. Haley is closer to her mom's side and talks to one of the cousins
