Miscommunication

Miscommunication is something that happens all the time. One instance that I can remember and never will forget was during my Middle School Basketball years. We were playing in the championship game and up by 2 points with the ball and 5 seconds left in the game. My teammate decided to pass the ball to me but the opponents stole it in the process. The result was that the other team hit a 3 pointer as time expired a won the championship. It was a big miscommunication among me and my team-mate. I screamed at him to hold the ball and he thought that I was streaming for the ball. The miscommunication happened because it was very loud and we both was put in tough circumstances. It cost us the championship but could have been prevented if we would have been calmer in the situation and if it was not so loud in the gym.

Reflection of Interview

I think that my interview went okay. I was really nervous during the first couple of minutes of the interview. My hands were shaking and I felt a little over heated. I dealt with the nervousness by trying to relax and taking my time to answer the questions. Many of questions were easy to answer and I believe that overall I answer them okay ,but there were some questions that kind of caught me off gaurd. The ones that caught me off guard, I just had to think a little harder and longer to answer. If I could change anything about the interview, I would change the way I spoke. I believe that I did not express myself the way I really wanted to. I maybe should have been a little more prepare. From the interview, I have learned to be a little more prepare and despite everything nervousness is something that can be dealt with and everyone suffers with it at some point during their life.

Presentation Week

This week in class has been a very interesting and fun week. Everyone had pretty good presentations. The three presentations that I like the most was Jessica presentation on Early Music, Trevor one on How to become a Pro Ball Player, and Marie presentation on Hummus.
I like Jessica one because I am a musical talented person and I knew exactly what she was talking about with Classical music so I related with her. Also, Trevor one was also interesting because he plays baskteball here at Clemson and I believe he is gone to make it to the pros one day. He also added a lot of humor in his presentation which made it even better. Finally, Marie's presentation was also great. I like the fact that she actually made hummus and let the class sample it. Her powerpoint was also very colorful and well develop.
Overall, all the presentations were wonderful and I enjoyed them all.
