The interview I analyzed was on Will Perkins, who is the admissions director at South Carolina's Governor School for Science and Mathematics. Will Perkins has held his position at the school for 2 years. Not only does he work with admissions, but also does advising and oversees some of the extra-curricular activities the school has to offer.
The interview was very helpful for people interested in attending the school in the future. He also describes the process in which he accepts students into the school. He describes how he recruits students starting in middle school to transition into the school as they pass through junior high. In the interview he also discusses his day to day life with his career, possibly helping those who might want to pursue a career like that. Overall, Will Perkins' interview is very effective for a variety of reasons to do with the Governor's school.
The questions asked in the interview were very on topic, relating closely to his job, responsibilities, and general questions about the school. He was asked questions such as the recruitment process, where the school is located, challenges he faces, his goals, and many others. The interviewer, Greg Everett asked the right kind of questions, often asking questions that require a more elaborate answer, more than a simple yes or no question. He often asked about how this jobs differs from his previous work experience, and how the test scores are taken into account of whether or not to accept a student.
Greg Everett often followed up on questions that Will Perkins had answered. After a question, if he had a follow up question relating to the topic, he would immediately ask another. An example would be after asking Will about the admissions process, he then asked whether or not there was a specific trait that the board of admissions looks for in particular. In conclusion, the interview with Will Perkins is well directed and is very educational for those who have in interest in attending the Governors School for Science and Mathematics.
Answer:
Yes I have persevered in order to achieve a goal. When I was bad at tennis, I played for 6 hours every day for 3 months and now I am a nationally recognized player.

Explanation:
I appreciate a capitalist system which allows the market to compete unencumbered, with few restraints. However, when individuals or organizations are able to dictate with life-threatening decisions based on money and not humanity, then I call for a revolt. The pleasures of love and life, a marriage bound by sacred vows, surely these things possess a value which far outweigh the interests of someone who is unwilling to part with their commodity. If there is no room for compromise from the pharmaceutical industry for delayed payments or payments with interest over time, then I say steal the drug.
