The interview was taken in my kitchen on September 25, 2016. It was around 10:00 am. The house had an aroma of Cafe Bustelo, my sister and I favorite coffee. We sat at the kitchen island table. I began to ask her some questions.
What is the meaning of life to you?
The meaning of life to me is the way you live it. You can’t have regrets, you can’t hate, and judge yourself. You have to accept the mistakes you have made and move on. The meaning of life is you, you’re the one who is living, you only have one chance at life, might as well make it everything you want it to be.
Has life always meant the same for you, or did this meaning change to you?
The meaning of life to me has definitely changed. I use to think life was everything my parents told me. I use to listen to everything they said, and believed everything they said. I still listen to my parents, I still value their meaning, their thoughts. As I got older I realized that I had my own meaning of life, my own thoughts, and I starting seeing life in a totally different way. I realized that I was my own person and I could make my own decisions.
What are your values in life?
My values in life is to stay true to myself, I want to be the best vision of me and I’m still working on that. I want to reach all my goals, I want to have a good future, and I want our family to be proud.
We were eating french toast during the interview, my sister’s favorite breakfast meal. My keyboard was getting sticky from the syrup; I’m kinda a messy eater-I must admit. I was trying to type every exact word she was saying while eating, but I’m not so great at multitasking. My little brother, on the other hand, was also sitting at the table, eating french toast, watching I Love Lucy on his tablet, and also listening to what we were talking about. He’s 10 years old, and in my opinion a great multitasker. We took a little break and finished up breakfast. We had to move locations because, our Mami kicked us out of the kitchen to clean up. We relocation in our bedroom that we share together. For those that don’t share a room with a sibling I am truly jealous.
The interview began again,
What do you want most out of your life? I want to be happy; I want to travel to all the places I have in mind, so that way later in life when I’m older, I won’t be saying, “ I wish I went here or there” because I’ve already went to all of those places.
What do you like most about yourself? I like how I think, and how I handle situations. I like how stronger and independent I am as well. I like how im very outgoing, and spontaneous, I also like how I make people laugh.
What are your strengths? My strengths are school, work, and being independent. I like going to school, and getting good grades. I like to study and make sure all my work is done on time. I also like working and making money, so that way I can get all the things that I need. I also like how im independent. I look up to you, and sometimes wonder how you handle school and work at the same time, because I’m still getting use to it.
What are your weaknesses? Mmh, weaknesses would be my shyness. Staying quiet, being a little awkward at times. I’m working on my weaknesses, and I have gotten better but everything takes time, and growth is very important. Like I said before realizing your mistakes, and making them better. I would say the meaning of life would be myself. I am a living, I am breathing. I value my life so much I am very grateful that I am living.
This interview went well. I did have to force my sister a little bit with staying on topic, and yell at her to stop being on her phone and to talk to me!
The photo was taken after the interview, around 1 o’clock pm. The location was Wilson Park. The park is really close to our house. I took this picture when my sister was off guard, and I think those are the best pictures. She is a very sassy 17 year old and that kind of shows in the photo. I love her pose and the lighting of the photo. The shadowing is what stands out the most. The brightness can represent future and the darkness can represent the past.
She reminds me of myself sometimes. She is very independent like myself. Even though I’m the oldest and we are only one year apart; I look up to her sometimes. She’s amazing and I love her very much, people always thought we were twins when we were younger, and I remember we use to hate it LOL. I remember her always telling “hold my hand” when we were little. Although we are both young adults, Jiselle will always be my little sissy Selle.
