Marc Parry

Although guest speakers usually manage to make most students "zone out" or fall asleep, Marc Parry did the opposite. It was interesting to listen to what he had to say due to the fact that hopefully, one day I will be a journalist just like him. While listening to him talk about how to approach people when interviewing them, I found it interesting when he mentioned that he still gets nervous at times. I could relate to that. When we were told to go out and interview a stranger, I did not know how to start; I was afraid of rejection and believe it or not, people thinking I am a freak. It helped when Parry said, “Generally people are really open.” That gave me confidence for my future interviews.
After reading Parry’s article about the mosque, Parry probably asked Kobeisy where he got his degree, what he plans to do when he leaves the mosque and when he plans to leave. Additionally, Parry probably asked others what they thought of Kobeisy and how he influenced their lives.
