Response

After reading the profile written about me by my classmate, I realized that we have to be careful how we say things because some times we might be misinterpreted simply by how we say things. For instance, when I was interviewed by my classmate, he asked about dancing and music and I answered according to my likings. However, the way he word it, sounded like dancing was really important to me, which is not really the case, I mean I like it, but not as he described. Besides the misunderstanding, my classmate did a great job describing how I am even though we only had few minutes conversing, and it was interesting how he incorporated some inspiration based on my answers which felt really nice because that means I did my part of the work by being true with my answers.

I agree that often what we say can be seemingly misinterpreted because each word used by the writer conveys its own nuance. Glad you had this experience so that you can be sensitive to that in your own interviewing and writing.
