Worst Fears Combined

This week we practiced doing interviews. I have a short list of my least favorite things and this activity combined a majority of those things all together: being put on the spot/being the center of attention, being interviewed, and being put in groups with people I do not know. If spiders or snakes would've been thrown into the mix, I would've been out of that room so fast. However, even though I was dreading this activity, it ended up being beneficial and actually a benefit to my future. Critiques that I needed to know so I can change for the better were made known to me during the process of interviewing. What I learned was from this activity was that it is a good thing to go outside of one's comfort zone. No growth or crazy stories happen from staying in your comfort zone and not taking any risks. When I think about my best nights, they usually involve doing something I normally wouldn't and taking a risk. So now the lessons I learned from this class activity can be applied to the rest of my life. I am going to go outside of my comfort zone more and take more chances. I'm excited to see what lies in store for me this summer now that I have this perspective. Oh the next day after class, I interviewed and was offered a job so I'm already seeing the benefits of this class.
