Miscommunication

One incident were miscommunication was used was when my volleyball coach from North Carolina State University, left the entire team at Coldstone. Our coach decided to go back to the hotel instead of waiting for the team to get our ice cream. Instead the coach made our assistant coach supervise us and told us that she was going to the local grocery story. Instead of going to the local grocery story, she went back to the hotel and left us in the cold weather of November. After the bus driver came and got us, we met our coach at the hotel, where she did not apologize for leaving us and instead laughed at us. She blamed everything on our assistant coach and made us go to bed. A way we could have prevented the miscommunication is if our coach would have been patience and waited for us to get our ice cream. Another way we could have avoid this situation is by our coach being truthful with us and telling us that she was not going to the local grocery store.

Interview

When entering into the interview, I was neverous. It was my first time actually being interviewed by anyone and I was nervous on what type of question I would be asked. After getting my composure I was able to relax and answer the questions. The one question that tricked me and took awhile for me to answer was: how will I be able to help the athletes? It was not that the question was hard to answer; it was just finding the right words to answer with. After I took a deep breath, I was able to continue with my answer. If I had the chance to do the interview again I would probably describe my weakness as something that I have improved on, not something that I am trying to improve now. The one thing I learn from this experience is that it is okay to stable on words as long as you stop and obtain your composure, the interviewee will be please with a will thought out answer.

Presentations

I really enjoyed the presentation of all my classmates and learning some interesting facts. All the presentations were good but my favorite three presentations were Frankie, Jess, and Monica. I enjoyed Frankie's presentation on marijuana and the different names for it it. I also like how he found the positive facts of how marijuana can help cancer patients. The interesting fact I liked about Jess' presentation on chocolate is that it can decrease your health risk. Monica's presentation on Edisto Beach was interesting. Being from a different state, it was nice to learn about a different city that you can go and relax. Overall, all the presentations were fun and it was a great way to learn about out the class.
