StoryCorp Interview Reflection: Guillermo Bermudez

-

By Natalia Bermudez


For my StoryCorp interview, I interviewed my dad, Guillermo Bermudez.

Overall, it went well. I had to pause frequently because it would take him a while to figure out what he wanted to say, especially in the beginning, but once he got the hang of it, it went a lot smoother. His answers were detailed and personal. It was a pretty emotional experience, to be honest, because he stated talking about hardships I never knew he had faced and he also said a lot of very sweet things about me and our family.

I learned more about my dad was when he was a kid, which I had never really fully known about before. Hearing what his parents were like so long ago was also interesting, because my grandma has obviously changed a lot and I don’t really remember my grandpa. I also found out more of his immigration story from Nicaragua, which I had always wondered about but never really directly asked for.

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only ...

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job ...
