Street Interview

Who: Jackie L (Emmanuel College ’09)
What: Street Interview
When: Monday December 17, 2007
Where: Emmanuel College campus
Why: To gain a students perspective toward our essential questions.

This afternoon we visited the Emmanuel College campus. After our admissions interview our group had a street interview with a current Emmanuel College student. Very interested in our group topic, Jackie L was more than willing to give us valuable insight. She attributes a lot of her success at the high school and collegiate level to co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. “I developed friends, built relationships, and gained a solid work ethic with each and every sport/group I joined.” At Emmanuel Jackie plays field hockey, and is the head of the economics club. She encouraged all of our students to continue on with their education, but always look to get involved with activities ‘outside of the classroom’.

After our meeting our group had a time to reflect at Starbucks in downtown Boston. Our group is starting to see how activities outside of the classroom can help shape you toward a path of success. “The more relationships you build in life, the more likely you are to meet someone who is going to positively affect your life.”

Special thanks: Jackie, Pat, and the Emmanuel College community.
