<p>There's this EC that I'd really like to be involved with next year that I had to interview for this afternoon. I have a good relationship with the teacher who was conducting the interview, and it went well, for the most part, until she asked how I work with others.</p>
<p>I was totally honest with her. I told her that because I'm an only child, I like to be in control a lot. And if I don't get my way, I'll probably be disappointed and I'll go home and stew about it for a couple of minutes, but I wouldn't bring that back into the classroom, and I certainly wouldn't let that hinder how I worked or anyone else's experience. </p>
<p>I probably could have worded it a little better, or threw in a bit of an extra explanation, but I was nervous and I couldn't really get the words out. I don't regret what I said, though. I wouldn't want to have been dishonest.</p>
<p>She looked a little taken aback at what I said. Then she quickly changed the subject ("Oh, you're an only chld? Interesting.") But after this, the rest of it seemed to go well. I'll be notified of whether or not I was accepted at the beginning of next week. I can't help but feel, though, that I really ruined my chances with my honesty...</p>
