Interview Q&A’s

“I  love  working  for  Dr.  Oz,  there’s  always  something  to  talk  about  with  him,”  remarked  Dr.  Oz’s  driver  as  we  drove  to  the  radio  station.  I  sat  in  the  back  with  my  business  partners,  Bobby  and  David  Lynch.  Dr.  Oz  and  David  were  about  to  have  a  live  interview  on  Oz’s  radio  channel.  8  `

“My  father  worked  for  Dr.  Oz’s  father  and  after  my  father  retired,  I  took  over  and  started  driving  Dr.  Oz.  He  is  a  very  social  person.”  He  said  with  a  chuckle  and  a  big  grin.  We  pulled  into  the  parking  lot  of  the  radio  station’s  building.  I  got  out  of  the  car  and  we  all  walked  into  the  lobby.  A  woman  who  looked  in  her  late  thirties  greeted  us.  

“You  must  be  David!  And  these  must  be  your  assistants.  I’m  Lisa,  Dr.  Oz’s  wife!  Its  very  nice  to  meet  you.”  Lisa  said  in  a  very  calm  and  friendly  voice.  

“It’s  very  nice  to  meet  you  Lisa.  These  two  are  my  assistances,  Christen  and  Bobby.”  David  beamed.      

Lisa  escorted  us  up  to  the  sound  booth,  where  Dr.  Oz  was  waiting.  When  we  walked  in,  I  noticed  that  there  were  two  teenage  girls  there  as  well.  Lisa  introduced  them  as  Daphne  and  Arabella,  2  of  Dr.  Oz’s  4  children.  Daphne  looked  to  be  about  16-­‐18  years  old,  and  Arabella  who  looked  younger  than  Daphne.     “Hey  guys,  I’m  so  happy  that  you  made  it!  Like  my  wife  said,  these  are  my  2  daughters  who  will  be  sitting  in  the  interview  with  us  today.  I’m  Dr.  Oz  but  you  can  just  call  me  Mehmet!”  right  away  I  realized  that  the  driver  was  right,  Dr.  Oz  was  very  friendly  and  social.  

I  took  a  seat  next  to  Daphne  and  across  from  Bobby.  While  Mehmet  and  David  got  set  up  and  ran  over  the  questions,  the  rest  of  us  chatted  and  introduced  our  self’s.  I  found  out  that  Daphne  was  about  to  graduate  from  high  school  of  to  study  at  Princeton  and  then  get  her  degree  in  North  Eastern  Studies.  

  “Okay  guys,  I  think  we  are  just  about  ready  to  start  the  interview,”  Mehmet  announced.  We  all  took  our  seats  and  quieted  down.  

  “We’re  on  in  3…2…1…  and  we’re  live!”  Said  the  sound  booth  man  sitting  outside  of  the  booth.       “Good  morning  New  York!!!  And  I  am  Dr.  Oz!  Today  I  sit  here  with  David  Lynch,  the  founder  of  David  Lynch  foundation  and  a  Grammy  award  winning  director  of  many  movies.”    

Historical Narrative

  “Thanks  Mehmet,  I  am  very  happy  to  be  here  today!”

  “So  David  would  you  mind  telling  us  a  little  bit  about  what  your  foundation  is,  and  what  it’s  all  about?”

  “Well,  my  foundation  is  based  on  world  peace.  It  is  usually  held  in  places  with  poverty.  It  focuses  in  6  categories:  schools,  military,  women,  Native  Americans,  homeless  shelters,  and  Prisons.  Each  session  is  for  20  minutes,  2  times  a  day.  It  is  meant  to  help  relax  and  eliminate  stress.”  

  “I  just  love  to  hear  about  people  doing  things  not  just  for  themselves  but  for  others,  so  I  _ind  what  you  do  very  inspiring.  Can  you  tell  us  about  some  of  the  movies  you  have  written  an  directed?”     “I  would  love  to!  Well,  I  went  to  the  Pennsylvania  academy  of  _ine  arts  in  Philadelphia.  Then  I  went  to  the  branch  in  Boston,  so  that’s  where  I  learned  a  lot  about  directing  and  also  writing.  I  guess  I  have  loved  writing  since  I  was  a  kid.”  David  said  with  a  chuckle.  

  They  talked  for  a  while  and  the  whole  time  I  was  thinking  what  a  great  experience  this  was  and  how  much  I  had  learned.  I  had  learned  a  lot  about  David  Lynch  and  his  foundation  and  about  Dr.  Oz’s  family.

Re_lection  

1. How has working on this project helped you learn about your family’s history and given you a better sense of your identity?

Since we had to contact some of our family members and find out 3 important/ historic memories from when they were younger, we were able to learn a lot about our family.

2. Why do you think doing a project like this is important?

I think it’s important because since we live over seas we don’t really have the opportunity to talk with our family very much, so this project has helped us learn and talk more to our family.

3. What part of this project did you enjoy the most? Why?

I enjoyed being able to talk to my family because usually I don’t have much time to talk to family between homework and sports so since this was homework it gave me a opportunity to call family.

4. What specific challenges did you face during this project and how did you over come them?

I think the hardest part was trying to get a hold of family, because of the time differences so either we had to call really early in the morning or pretty late at night.

5. What advice would you give future students as they begin this project?

Make sure you get a head start on the project because if you have any questions you can always call back to ask them, but if you save it till the last minute you might not have another chance to contact them.
