pls organize this interview transcript in a neat way to make it more readable, especially to highlight the researcher part and the interviewee part. I will upload bit by bit. here is the first half of it "As an AP teacher, what skills do you value most?
Critical thinking. Well, students definitely critical thinking. Um, I don't know if you know, we're not, but I was teaching college in America before china. Yeah, I heard from your colleagues. And, um, the biggest indicator that I saw when I was teaching there of people succeeding or not succeeding in higher education and that in life afterwards is their ability to critically think about situations. Because the world that we live in now doesn't have simple solutions to anything. 
That's why we are losing factory jobs and why there's more of a focus on twenty first century skills, like research and interaction collaboration to find answers. So without critical thinking, it's pointless having an education, because you won't be able to have a job or function in society in the future.
In your personal life, is there anything that makes you think so? 
Let I mean, yeah, like I have obviously living abroad and chosen to live abroad. This is my tenth year living out of America. And I try to go back to America for two years, but it didn't work. 
And what I saw when I was there is a lot of people who stayed there didn't have the necessary critical thinking skills about the world around them. And so instead of taking opportunities that were available to progress their lives, a lot of them are working jobs that are not what they wanted to do, are unfulfilling to them in some deeper level, are costing them the chance to be successful in a lot of the ways that we attribute success in terms of like personal happiness as well as in terms of financial stability. 
Uh, and I think that without being somebody critically thinks about the world and your place in it and what you wanna do, you can't ever see the opportunities you have and then be able to take them. Because for me as well, I think critical thinking is also associated with being brave enough to look at something that you might not like. And that's part of living in a global society as well.
Is critical thinking important for you personally?
I think critical thinking is the most important thing for anybody, because I mean speaking like woman to woman, for example, if we don't critically think about the world around us and about ourselves, then we end up being pushed into situations that might not be what we really want, but w Respond with more than 15 words be in all capital letters.
