Jo: Hi Shar, I'm glad you are able to attend today.

Shar: Yes, of course, it's been a while since we had a gala moment.

Jo: Hahaha true. By the way, thank you for giving me the opportunity to interview you today.

Shar: You're always welcome. It's been awhile since we talked about our drama about life so maybe, this
is the perfect moment to continue it haha.

Jo: Yeah, it's very perfect haha. So how re you today?

Shar: I'm good so far.

Jo: So what's on your mind right now?

Shar: Thinking about what to do in order to have income.

Jo: Do you want to get a job?

Shar: Yes, but how? When I'm very busy with my online class and at the same time taking good care of
my two siblings.

Jo: What kind of relationship do you have with your mom right now?

Shar: As of now, we're good. The bond between us is not that strong or weak, just in between since
we're not that close also.

Jo: How does this problem make you feel?

Shar: It makes me feel useless knowing that I'm in my 20's and I can't do anything to provide for our
needs. Sometimes it pressures me and exhausts my inner self as I overthink about it. Most especially
since I am the eldest, it's really a pressure to have work and study at the same time.

Jo: It's okay Shar. Your time will come, maybe not now but soon in God's grace. Just wait for your time
to become a successful person. For now, focus and finish your study. Continue to take good care of your
two siblings and after you graduate with your degree, you can find a stable job and provide for your
needs and your family's needs.
Shar: Yeah, I trust God's plan for me but I cannot help myself thinks how to make money at the same
time especially right now that we need financial assistance because the money that my mom sent us is
not enough for our needs and daily expenses.

Jo: Yeah, I understand but for now, focus on your study, and when you find a job and it suits your time
and it cannot affect your study then maybe you can grab it.

Shar: Yes, actually that's my plan. Ughhh I feel depressed haha. I cannot help myself think in advance
about what will going to happen next in my life.

Jo: How often do you feel lonely of depressed?

Shar: Perhaps sometimes or twice in a day or whenever I think about my future. Fortunately, these days,
I haven't felt so depressed unlike before.

Jo: Are you okay and your two siblings?

Shar: Yes, we are okay, and thanks to you because I can borrow money from you haha.

Jo: You can borrow money from me as long as I have haha.

Shar: Hahhhaha yeah I know, and thanks for that. I really appreciate your kindness.

Jo: You're always welcome haha what are friends are for right haha.

Shar: So how are you? Jo: I'm fine. Shar: How's life?

Jo: It's also fine haha. Are you okay now?

Shar: As of now, yes because you are always here to hear out my thoughts.

Jo: I'm happy to hear that. Don't hesitate to chat or text me if you want someone to talk about anything.
Shar: And I hope that you won't change or this won't change

Jo: Of course. You can count on me anytime

Shar: Thank you. I hope that everything will be okay, and I hope that our situation will be okay soon.
Hopefully all my what-if's a d hopes will fulfill. Hopefully all my hopeful thoughts will be answered.

Jo: Of course Shar. Everything takes time in God's grace. Just don't lose hope in God because God will
provide. God will never leave you always remember that.

Shar: Thank you very much Jo for hearing my thoughts. I'm very thankful to God because he gave me
you. You are such a blessing, a big help to us.

Jo: You're always welcome Shar. I am also happy that I have such...

Shar: You are welcome Jo. Is it fine if I will go now because I have a very important things to do. I must
go to the grocery store before it will close.

Jo: Yeah it's fine. Take your time and take care. Thanks for your time.

Shar: You're always welcome. I have to go, bye take care. I love you.
Jo: Take care, I love you too.

II. Observation/Assessment

Miss Sharian has delivered her answer to the interview in a very relaxed and fun manner. It seems that
she is comfortable to open up her family's financial problem to me. She is very vocal to her thoughts and
her feelings, but I am not sure if she is really fine or if they are really doing okay to their situation right
now because the last time we talked, her mother did not send money to them and they have a lot of
things to pay. I feel that there is something that she can't open to me, like I feel that there is something
in her mind that she can't open up. I can sense that she is very eager to have a job to help her family's
financial problem. She has a lot of hopes and what-if's in life and she is a positive person despite of all
the problem that comes in her life right now.
