B. Write a short narrative description of your encounter with a child.
This child that I interviewed is my sister so, I know and have observed a
lot about her. So, this interview turned out to be nice, but as I conduct this
interview, I can feel her uneasiness and awkwardness to answer the questions
that being asked because even though I am her sister, she is a bit shy to
respond to the questions that I am asking. Her answers on the question shows
that she’s developing her personal friendship and engagement with other
people. Based on her answer on her goal for the next 10 years, it is inclined with
the key idea that says that a child develops a pattern of success or a pattern of
life failure depending on the quality of guidance and motivation she received.
