SHARE: What's Your Secret Sauce?

*I’ll be honest, I did not record my interviews. I did this the day it was due, too late to go from apartment to apartment. But I did call these individuals and this is really what they said.

1.     Well for starters in fluent in Spanish. When I think about things that set me apart from others I just feel like in getting interviewed that’s usually my go to difference.

a.     I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, so I am bilingual but I’ve also been exposed and I’m used to a different culture, which makes me competitive.

b.     I’m a hard worker as well, I graduated with my AA while still in in high school and now I’m at the University of Florida.

c.     I’m really independent, I’ve had a job ever since I was allowed to. I don’t like to burden my parents financially or myself, so between scholarships and my paychecks I pay for my tuition, books and rent.

d.     I’m adventurous, I’m not afraid to try new things. In fact I really enjoy taking myself out of my comfort zone.   

2.     Interviews

a.     Aleandra (my sister)

                                               i.     You’re the smartest person I know. If I ever have a question or need help I just call you. You have a really good sense of style? I’m not sure if that helps any. You’re really caring, you always put yourself before others.

b.     Courtney (my best friend)  

                                               i.     You’re funny and cool. You always speak your mind and you sometimes get in trouble because of it, and its funny. You have no filter, and your opinions are always known, you either say them or your face does it for you. You're always here for me, you're nice, hardworking, selfless, and you’re supper good at makeup.

c.     Jose (my boyfriend)

                                               i.     You’re pretty, smart, nice, caring, selfless, hardworking. You’re always there for everyone. You’re good at a lot of things.

d.     Cho (my roommate)

                                               i.     Oh gosh, you are such a hard worker not to mention an amazing cook. You are really smart, charismatic and knowledgeable. Because there’s a difference between being smart and knowledgeable. You’re fun and spontaneous too and supper pretty.
 I think mostly everyone I interviewed was just complementing me. I have a feeling it was just
because I had called them, recording them would have probably resulted in more professional
accurate answers.
