Who B'Neika really is.

My name is B'Neika McCleary. I have lived in Alaska since December of 2002. I am a mother of 3 and my husband is currently in the military. I have been attending UAF since 2005. Hopefully this May I will be graduating with my AA. There is not much I have to really say about myself. I don't have any hobbies and the three loves that I live with has not allowed me to pick up a book that hasn't rhymed in I don't know when. I consider myself a people person because I have not met a person yet that has left from around me that didn't want to know more about me. Not because I am all about my self but because I feel my personality usually brings the best out of some people. On the flip side I do have a bit of a problem with saying things on my mind, not to be hurtful. I guess I could say more about myself but I think I covered it in class.

Father Michael Oleska

Man what can I say about the presentation. I will be first to say when it first started I was like humm... am I really going to like or get anything out of this documentary from back it the day. Then it started and I was like man this is awesome. He hit on a lot of topics and things that I had not really sat down and gave a lot of thoughts about. I mean I feel we all know that not everyone is the same, but it never dawned on me as to why its so hard to understand why we are so "different". The fact that it's a form of communication that is keeping us from understanding more about each other is mind blowing. I am one of those types of people that seem to have to ability to just adapt to all forms of people, I guess because I feel like everyone has the right to explain who they are and what the represent. During the video [as he was giving examples] I was thinking to myself the different types of personalities that I have come across and it made somethings a little more clear.

In my head right now I am at wow at all the info that i received from Father Oleska. Like I am thinking of all of the different type of people that I have come in contact with and the times that I felt like extremely awkward around them because I wasn't sure why they were so sad, loud, or monotone. At the same time I am from a family that is really close and touchy feely, so when I meet people that are like "eww I hate to hug" it made me wonder as to what their deal was.

I feel like this video should be shown at jobs that cater to high customer service volume.
