| Ryan with new shades--after the interview |
Ryan had an interview today for a college scholarship. He dressed up and arrived well before his appointed time. Since the person
scheduled before him didn’t show up, Ryan went early. I think that was a blessing. Less time to get nervous.
I prayed Ryan would talk.
Nothing like being in an interview when the applicant won’t talk! My imagination cringed. What was happening in there? I worried about stupid questions that weren’t
questions, like, “Tell us about yourself.”
Ryan can answer questions with no problem, but talk about generalities
or relay a bunch of information? Not so
much.
Since I drove Ryan to the interview, I waited on a bench not
too far away. I tried to distract myself
by reading. I read a page. Then reread it. On the third go-round, Ryan plopped next to
me. Maybe ten minutes had passed.
I asked if it was done.
He replied casually, “Yep.” I
didn’t want to make too big a deal of this, but I was so curious. Keeping in mind that this was probably
mentally exhausting for Ryan, I asked one more question, “Did you talk?” His response, “Yep.”
Now we wait for the results.
