Profile Sketch

I will be interviewing a friend of mine who was in a gnarly car accident, that know one understands how she survived. I haven’t interviewed her yet so when I do, that will be the first time I hear the whole story. She doesn’t exactly like talking about it and doesn’t want me to know because it’s such a scary accident but has agreed to talk about it with me for me. I have never seen pictures and the little details she has shared are very minimal. She doesn’t remember much about it other then what she’s been told by other people. I will try to get a picture from her but I’m not for sure she will let me share them for the assignment.

The questions I’ll be asking are:

How old were you/ how long ago did this take place?

What all happened?

How has this accident affected you today?

What was going through your head right before, during and after it happened?

How long were you in the hospital?

Would you take it back if you could?

What is one thing you’ve learned or take from this experience?

What was the hardest part during all this?

What is one positive out of such a negative experience?

I asked more questions then what’s listen because I was inserting questions as she was answering my questions.

I had a very hard time coming up with the questions because it’s such a hard topic for her to talk about. It just brings back way to many memories that aren’t positive. The only positive that came from this is she survived.

    Has she agreed to talk to you about the accident? Does she know
    what you plan to do with the info? Since she doesn’t remember
    much, you will have to find others who do, or change the focus
    of the story away from the accident itself.

    What if you don’t ask questions about the accident?
