Yes, I know I am late posting this but time has just flown by this past week. I went to A Business case for Diversity. And yes I am very good at procrastinating. To me this event was about how more diverse people have advantages and are likely to be more accurate over just intelligent people.
Scott Jones used quite a few mathematical problems to prove his theories and some were a little confusing but I tried to stay with him. He used these to show how many things work together and create accuracy and prove his theories right.
Over all, I was not too enthused with his lecture. I figured it would be more of a lecture on how to be more diverse and group with others, learn from them and help teach them what they don't know, work together. I figured it would be more about hiring different kinds of people in a work area but I still learned quite a bit.

My BEST :)
A time I felt at my "best" would probably my senior year. I was involved in varsity cheerleading for football and basketball as well as competition. As one of the few seniors on the squad I had to help lead us and help the squad. Mostly we needed to work on technique and timing.
Since, well most of you know by now, I'm not that shy of a person and I have a loud mouth, I was mostly in charge of getting all the girls' attention. We had 18 girls on our competition squad with 2 alternates and 26 girls on our varsity football squad. Boys Basketball only had 6 for varsity. Most of the other few seniors on competition were involved in other groups and activities and I was not so I was sure to be at every practice.
I felt like I had a lot of responsibility and I led our group. I always made sure I didn't yell at them or put them down I gave constructive criticism to help them. If a stunt (when cheerleaders throw people and catch them or hold them up in the air) doesn't work I help them figure out what's not going right. Being a senior and having 4 years previous experience helped me to have this responsibility and knownledge.
Since I did this I feel like I have been able to help others my freshmen year here on like things. Such as others' papers or assignments. I give them constructive criticism and let them know I'm always here if they need help.
