Reflection On A Childhood Interview

I decided to interview my dad, Tim Ely. He 's a certified life coach, financial advisor, and special education teacher. He 's been a certified life coach for about 2 years now and a special education teacher for about 5 weeks now.

If it does not take as long, then I can adjust my time scale and if takes longer some things will get moved to another time. I try to give myself realistic time to achieve things if I have interruptions or if I do not know how long it will
