Preparing

That friday the 17th, all of the ISSE candidates and I got an email stating that interviews would take place on tuesday the 24th.  They emailed us a list of 13 questions that they would be asking.  

ISSE DELEGATE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

1. Tell us a little about yourself.     

2. What kind of activities are you involved in at school? Outside of school?

3. What are some responsibilities you have at home?

4. Why do you want to go on this trip?                                   

5. What are some things you would like to show or share with students in Australia?

6. What would you do if you became lost or separated from our group?                                                      

7. What is the longest time you’ve been away from your parents? Where did you go?
