  2. Hey J,

    I guess your teacher wanted to be very general with her answers. Although they were short, they were also very simple and easy to understand. If anyone were to have any questions about his/her responses, I hope he/she would be able to elaborate more on it. LOL don't forget the interviewee name next time :P thanks for the info.
