As my first official interview, I was to ask my classmate about homelessness, music, crime/police, and inequality. My interviewee agreed and we continued. The interviewee lives in the Tulare County area and in the first part, they didn't believe they had a big issue when it came to homelessness.

The next topic was music and they weren't very fond of rock or Metal at all! They said this gives them a big headache when listened to. Some of the music that I was fond of or never heard of was surprisingly the same as my interviewee.

The next section being crime and police, it seems by the looks of it, where the interviewee lives, they don't seem to go through a lot of violence or crime. They made it seem like they live in a quiet and safe neighborhood. They didn't really have any conflict with the police or vice versa. 

The last section had to do with inequality. The interviewee said this has to do with majority and minority of groups. They felt this is somewhat accused upon them. They come from a family that showed them to be independent and do the right thing, you might say.

When it came to food, they said they would want to spend less when it came to nutrition programs for poor children and families, food stamps, and school lunches. Moving on, they categorized themselves as Christian-Catholic, attended religious services two to three times per year, and rarely chatted with their neighbors.  They were working on their four year degree, and are Hispanic. They weren't married, and they are a student who is working full time.  Busy schedule I might add. They were older than I was, and I found out that we live in the same area. They had no other comments that they wanted to add on, so this is where our interview ended. Overall, I liked this experience. It was straight to the point.
