This week in ISM, I was all about preparing for interviews, something that I normally consider myself good at. For some reason, every time I speak in front of my ISM class, I always fumble and I'll start stuttering, which is an issue I've never really encountered before. I think a lot of that comes from my desire to fit in with the classes standard of excellence, something that I constantly think about and compare myself to. There is also the fact that I haven't been preparing all too much before I speak in front of the class, and I think that one thing I could do is to prepare myself more and to move past my insecurities. This issue is a lot like my old issue in band, where I would be given a very important solo and then I would fumble a little bit in class due to the pressure, and I got over that by letting go of the need to impress and to come to it with the biggest fake ego I could muster, and perhaps that idea can be put to use when speaking. But on the interview front, I did very well with the people I was with, and I never had anyone comment on any substantive flaws aside from the structure of an answer to one question.
