Question Options
Notes:
Some questions are redundant on purpose. Choose the wording you like best.
The order of questions in interviews vary and builds mindfully. Tell me which questions are your top priorities for me to ask in each section.

Did you go on vacations with your family growing up? What was it like?
Thinking about the ages of your kids today, what stands out most to you when you were that age?
