Sadly, I don't have many stories about food. Food has always been something that I've eating because I had to do so to survive. The only food story I have, I've already shared with this blog. I suppose there are smaller stories that don't have much meaning, but I'm not sure if they'll count for this assignment. I'll try anyways!
One time after a long evening of watching Sporting Kansas City, the KC soccer team, win against Seattle, my boyfriend and I went home and decided to do an "experiment." We took two slices of bread, cheese, and bacon, and began to create something that could've been the most delicious thing in all of history.
It wasn't.
We put the cheese between the two pieces of bread, and then wove the bacon to surround the sandwich. We then tried to cook the bacon-covered sandwich, but sadly were unsuccessful. Only the bacon on the outside cooked (it was woven, so there were essentially two layers), and the cheese never even began to melt.
This was a great idea, but failed oh so miserably. The story will always bring a smile to my face, though. The disappointing process was worth it.

First Impressions
First impressions can be hard, especially when it's important to make a good one. Today I was asked what impressions do I want to send to a potential future employer, and this is what I came up with:
I want to come across as a positive person. I want to seem happy and eager about whatever the topic of conversation is. I want to show my multi-dimensional personality, and I also want to seem like I would be fun to work with. I want to come across as responsible and easy to talk to. I want to be creative and intelligent. I want to seem hard working and motivated. These are the things I want.
In reality, I worry that I come across as awkward. They might think I'm unsocial, or unintelligent. They might think that I stumble over words because I don't have direction in the conversation. They might think that I'm too weak to take on a job, or I don't have the strength to be in control. They might think that I lack passion and creativity, and that I'm all about work and have no interesting personality traits. They might think that I talk about myself too much, and of course they wouldn't want to hire someone like that.
When I make my LinkedIn account, I hope to prove all those negative statements wrong, and enforce the positive ones. I'm not my insecurities, and I hope to convey that through this new account.
