Time spent: 1 hour
Total time: 29 hours
We had our final interview today with one of the biology teachers at El Camino, David Jordan. One of the things I found most touching about talking to him was when he told us that he had never told any other students that he had cancer. The rest of his interview went really well, too. One of the things he emphasized most was that he just wanted to do things that he loves and have fun throughout his life, and that is a lot of why he's a teacher. One of the downsides for him, though, was that whenever he would feel a pain in his leg, or his neck or anywhere else, he would automatically feel paranoid that it might be cancer; he still has trouble letting go of the fear, but overall he's positive about his cancer journey because it made him appreciate life a lot more.
The photoshoot went smoothly as well. We had a little trouble finding a good spot to shoot him inside his classroom, but he all liked the science-y feel of his aquariums and tanks. We got to use a lot of different angles, and overall the photos came out nicely.
Mr. Jordan's interview was a good way to end off our work on the website. He shared a lot off his positive vibe and just gave some good all-around advice, so we all left feeling happy. The only thing we have left to do now is pick up our t-shirts to sell at Relay, and then participate at the event on Saturday.
