In the interview I conducted with Micheal, we went over the various ways in how Soccer and growing up an athlete has influenced multiple aspects of our lives. I tried to structure the interview in three parts, in which I would explore Micheal's memories of the past and present and then end it with what he thinks his future will be in Soccer. Interesting topics I am planning on highlighting will be the time spent in Colombia for the tournament, what being a captain means to him, and take aways from a long career almost at it's end. Full Transcript: [00:00:22] I've had a lot of memories of playing soccer, I've been playing since 5 years old, I'm now 21... So, yea... it's taken up a majority of my life. [00:00:54] Soccer was a constant thing, I was always playing. [00:01:11] It's hard to pick one out of the list...if you wanna talk about recent memories, you know, playing in College has been a great experience and a great memory to have. [00:01:28...

For my Audio project,  I will be interviewing Micheal. In our pre-interview last class, Micheal and I both found out we were and have been student athletes. We spent a lot of the class period reminiscing on past triumphs and failures in our sport careers, which I think is a compelling topic to explore. Some of the questions I plan to ask are, 1) What were some of your biggest triumphs/failures during your sport career? 2) Has your view of sports changed since you were young? 3) Biggest idol in sports world at a young age? Biggest inspiration? 4) A certain moment that you can still picture today? 5) Any important lessons learned through playing/watching sports?

In our video, Niko and I wanted to capture the social aspect of school. We tried to capture the various activites done in the hallway and between classes. This included groups of people talking, eating, reading, walking, etc. Our idea for this, came from the fact that just as many things happen outside the classroom then inside. Our video hopefully displays how school can be a social center as well as a place to learn. https://vimeo.com/259072634
