Info Miscommunication

I have had a couple jobs so far in my life, but I haven't seen many big miscommunications, the biggest miscommunications I've seen so far has been playing golf. I was playing in a tournament trying to qualify for my first U.S. Junior Amateur when I was 15 years old. I was on the second at holes with a good chance to qualify, and I was in the middle of the fairway on the 8th hole for my second shot. My caddie routinely got my yardage for me and walked it off to be 164 yards to the hole. Taking into account other factors i played for this yardage and hit it 10 yards over the green, right away I checked to make sure I hit the right club, and I did, and I asked my caddie if he gave me the right yardage. He walked off the yardage and realized it was 154 yards to the hole, not 164. I didn't get upset, but I ended up making a costly bogey which I later had to make up in the round to qualify for the Junior Championship.

Out of the last presentations I enjoyed the one that informed us about the democratic party. Being a republican, it was nice to hear facts about the democratic party that were from a very objective point of view, it showed both the strengths and weaknesses and didn't seem very biased. 

I haven't had any experience with online portfolio's so this will be a new experience for me, but I am looking forward to learning how to do one.

3 presentations

One of the presentations I enjoyed was Stephanie's about Locks of Love. She was very thorough in her explanation of how the non-prfit organization works and she also provided the right amount of concise information for the guidelines of the project. Another project I liked was the one about jet propultion packs where you wear the pack and it propels water so you can hover 10-15 feet above the water. It was interesting to hear about and I haven't heard of anything like that. It was presented in an entertaining, but yet informing manner. And lastly, the presentation about the decathalon really caught my attention because I never knew how much preparation went into one. The presentation was well organized and I think the presenter gained a lot of respect among her peers for how difficult and demanding her sport is. All in all the three presentations mentioned were compelling and motivating and were all delivered confidently and were well organized.
