What are your general comments?

The first interview was directly from my file - not stressful at all. The second one wasn't stressful either. The interviewer sympathized that I was the first in my family to consider this career path and really offered some great insight into the field. I was intimidated at first because I could tell she was driving at whether or not i wanted a family, but was glad when I finally answered because she gave me some really useful information.
