Although Michaela and I already have a close relationship, I really enjoyed interviewing her because I was able to learn some new things about her such as how her relationship with her parents was compared to my mom's relationship with them. It was interesting to see how my mom did not have a close relationship with her mom but Michaela did. I did not hear the answers I expected from her. I really thought that she would be more comfortable answering my questions but she seemed very impersonal and I felt like I needed to rush through the questions because she didn't want to be answering them. Compared to some other interviews, especially my mom's, her responses were not very long and elaborated at all.
