"Hi, my name is Stephanie, and you are Guangze, correct?" The first words rolling out of my manager's tongue. I had never been in an interview before; millions of questions flooded my mind as I began to formulate a response. I replied stutteringly, "Y-yes my name is Guangze, what's yours?" I genuinely wanted this job, and I just humiliated myself in front of the manager. Great. I've always approached every challenge through preparation, illuding it will make me succeed. I had a list of answers for the interview readily lined up in my mind. However, my brain had blanked out two seconds in, leading me into an unfamiliar situation where my normal logical fallacies faded away. I had one option: be myself; and in doing so, I came out with a job and a life changing experience. I've altered my approach and see things now with a hint of optimism.
