Interview questions 1) Getting acquainted Getting acquainted and building relationships help provide many long-term benefits. When we get to know the people around us, we begin to learn about their personal styles, their strengths, their gifts and talents, even some of their challenges. We begin to see them more as someone we can relate to and to respect them and care about them. Let’s get acquainted.  Sometimes, we may not even know basic information about another person. Let’s start there.  What is your name? Nicholas Magras  Where do you graduate from? Umatilla High School  Where did you grow up? Eustis, Florida  Looking at your entire life, recall a time when you felt the most alive, most excited, or most involved. Think deeply about this event.

All the games that we won and the hard training that I had to overcome. Who was involved? Me, my family, and my friends on the soccer team. What were you doing? I was playing soccer for a very long time and becoming very good at it. What emotions were you feeling? Happy and very exciting emotions. What sights, sounds, and smells do you remember? I remember seeing many people that I didn’t know, hearing everyone cheering for our team and sometimes me, and smelling body odor. What did this experience mean to you?

That I was a very healthy person who loved being around friends and wanted to win all the time. What personal characteristics did you display? Honesty and leadership. Look through the eyes of the people that most believe in you and respect and value you. What would these people have to say about you? They would say that they miss me playing soccer and would have wanted me to stick with it when I was younger too. What matters the most to you, for example, family, friends, work, and so forth? Family first, school second, work third, games last. What motivates you? Too many things motivate me but my family always keep me motivated and good grades in school do the same also. What are your special attributes, talents, and gifts? I’m great at games and driving because I have a perfect record so far! 2) Be true to what you value Everyone displays their talents, strengths, and gifts at different times and places. As we take on new challenges reviewing past successes helps build the platform for future success.  What have you done that you are proud of? I made it past high school and got a job so now I’m happy.  What are you good at? Computers and games.  What are your hobbies and interests? Exercising, hanging out with family and friends, movies, playing basketball and games.  What do you value most about yourself as a person? My ability to be very friendly to people I don’t know.  3) Teamwork makes it happen The main goal of Coach Mike Krzyzewski for the USA Olympic basketball team was to get a group of players from all across the United States to play together as a team. The unity that coach Krzyzewski achieved in the Olympics is the type of teamwork needed to achieve optimal results. At one time or another, we have all worked with others to achieve more than we could have done alone. Your fellow class members, classmates at school, teachers, community and church members, family and more make up your “team.” Think about a great team experience that you have had or have witnessed that involved these players. What made that experience great? Everyone working together in unity and being perfect! How did being on a team help everyone be more productive? Everyone got a chance to do something or help someone to achieve our goal. How were the results greater with the team than if each person had worked on his or her own? They were much greater because each person would not be able to accomplish anything close to what we did as a team. 4) Great Learning We are learning all the time. Learning sometimes takes place in traditional settings like school. But, learning also happens in much broader contexts. Think about some of your significant learning experiences, perhaps a time that was a turning point in your life.  Were you alone or were others involved? Others were involved  If there were others involved, who were they and what roles did they play in your learning? My cousin and he was someone who always continued and never gave up. He would push me and keep me going when I wanted to give up.  How did this experience help you grow as a person and to discover what you were capable of? It helped me grow a lot and achieve higher goals that I didn’t even think was possible.  What similar experiences have you had? Not that many similar experiences.  5) Helping others We have all helped others out along the way. It is often during times of helping others that our true abilities come to play and we realize how much we are capable of doing. How did your helping others, benefit them? It benefited them by making them better and smarter at what they were doing. How did this experience help you grow as a person and to discover what you were capable of? I’m not real sure on how it helped me grow as a person or discover much. What did you learn from this experience? That helping is always a good thing and that people will return the favor most of the times. In what ways have these experiences help you “leave a legacy” for others in the future? I really didn’t leave a legacy! 6) Core Contributors to Success Think back on these significant moments in your life that you have just described.  What in your opinion are the core qualities that contributed to success? Being active, helpful, and always asking questions no matter what!  What are the core contributors to working successfully as a team? To communicate and understand everyone at all times so we could help each other on everything and nobody get left behind!
