Personally, I thought the interview with Judge Cerski was pretty different from the other interviews. While the others talked about the balance between their work and their social life, Judge Cerski said his work is his life. I have great respect for him, and it is inspiring to hear how far he has come in his career. Although, I do not think that is the leadership approach that I want to follow. He had some great advice, but I think that I would not be happy or completely successful if I made my work my number one priority all of the time.

Personally, I define myself as leaning towards introverted, regardless of the situation. Sometimes, I guess, if I am really passionate and/or angry about something, I can become extroverted. For example, in high school, some of the girl decided to mess with my sister’s food. When I heard/saw this, I went right over to them and demanded an explanation.

If I feel as though my opponent is cheating, I’m not afraid to call her out on it. In those cases, I realized that it is similar to the way in which Judge Cerski described himself. He said he becomes extroverted in circumstances having to do with his work, and I guess I become extroverted when I am in situations surrounding the things that I am passionate about. I have and will always be dedicated to my family, and I love to play tennis and am a very competitive
