Feedback and Overcoming Challenges

I asked for feedback from my candidate and she told me that she thought I was doing a wonderful job and had no major complaints.  She was especially impressed with how well I learned how to use the voterbuilder software. This feedback makes me feel really good about the work I have accomplished and look forward to what is next in my internship.  

One of the things I was really nervous to do was knocking on peoples doors to ask them to vote for my candidate.  I have never been a person who was good at striking up conversation with people. Also, going to strangers houses kind of made me nervous. However, it was something I had to do.  On the first house I was really nervous, and it was a good thing I had someone with me to help me so I was not alone.  After the first couple of houses it got easier and a lot of the houses we knocked at there was no one home, so we just left literature.  Afterwards I realized that it was not as bad as I thought it would be.  There were only a couple of people who were really strange, everyone else was very friendly and willing to listen and engage in conversation.

Knowing what I know now, I probably would not have worn jeans. I was so hot towards the end. I also would not have been so nervous at the first couple of houses because everything turned out all right.
