At the state college that I work at it is custom to have very large screening or interviewing committees. I was asked to be on one about a year and a half ago. As the interviewees took their turns being interviewed, there was one of my coworkers who was interviewing for the position. Honestly, I did not know her very well, excepting passing here and there. As she was answering the questions, she seemed incredibly nervous. After the interview was over, she told me that whenever she felt anxious, she would look at me and felt calmer. She was thankful for the calming presence that exhibited. After hearing this, it was quite humbling. Frankly, I now consider this one of the best compliments that I have ever received. Also, it is encouraging to know that I don’t have a scary face after all! Deep sigh. I can rest easy now. Winking face.
