Ambassador Reflections: 10 Questions with a Community Lodgings Mother – Reina Martinez

Ten Questions with a Community Lodgings Mother – Reina Martinez

 By Josue Martinez       

Josue Martinez, an eighth-grader in Community Lodgings’ after school program, recently completed a short course on how to conduct interviews. For his final project, Josue interviewed his mother about Community Lodgings. He introduced himself, explained the purpose of the interview, created open and closed questions, and listened carefully to his mother’s responses. Great job, Josue, and thank you, Mrs. Martinez!
