Mark had always been fascinated by the study of government and politics and learning about the goings on of government as it applied to his life. When he was little all he knew was that he was a citizen of America, America is a republic and has democracy (which his teachers always said was a good thing) and that his dad had come to America to live the American Dream. As he got older, he learned more and his fascinations with all the going ons of American government grew. When he was in his sophomore year, his government teacher asked his class what their political ideologies were, and he hadn’t the slightest idea. He knew that his mom was a conservative, his dad was a liberal with strong social conservative leanings and his grandparents were

This is the beginning the client will restructure and re-author the change in their lives.
Because of my inability to provide a calm and silent environment as part of my interviewing techniques, I missed out on gaining potential relevant information about my client. In the future, I will provide a very calm environment that allows the client to really express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I will ask questions one at a time rather than grouping them together, and I will go into the interviews mentally prepared, thus removing any self-perceived awkwardness.
