Last week in Personal Growth 140, I participated in the group of the middle children. My group and I. did research on the traits of the middle child. I became more aware of my status as a middle child. According to our research a middle child tends to be a loner. I agree with that trait, because I find myself alone sometimes. But being alone is not a bad thing. I get plenty of time to think about things, and when I do spend time with others that is also great. A positive trait is that middle children are peace makers. In my case it's true I often get people thinking about their conflicts. Although I'm fascinated by this new information, I'm also bothered. I think it's not right that we fall into categories depending on our birth. I have always felt neglect as a middle child. Mother was always caring about the oldest and loving her youngest. That's definitely unfair but that's just life. This new revelant information makes me want to try harder in life.

Interviews

Last week in Personal Growth 140, there were more guests ready to interview Price Scholars. Interviewing two guests definitely improved my skills and gave me confidence. When the guests introduced themselves, and told their powerful stories I was inspired. Their success gave me hope to search for opportunities. An interesting interview tip that I learned was to always ask the interviewer question afterwards. Doing so shows interest in the position. Unfortunately I lacked a resume that day. Having a resume available is important to secure a job. The questions that I struggle with the most are that one's that require me to talk about myself. I find that difficult. I have to work on what to say about myself that I want an employer to know. This activity was useful and educational. The most valuable tip I learned was to interview a lot. I have a lot to gain and nothing to lose.
