• "They wanted me to do too much."
• "Our leadership styles just did not match up."
• "I disagreed with what they wanted most of the time."
• "They didn't know what they were doing, so I tried to correct them."

What's a good answer: "Tell me about yourself" ?

• I am 5'9" and 140 pounds with straight teeth. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs and love Netflix and cheese sticks. 
• Well, I am a student. My favorite subject in History. I am active in many clubs, and actually won an award for community service last year.
• Well, what do you want to know? 
• I am a student. My grades aren't great, and I don't do much in school, but I am the oldest in my family, and I want to get out of Merced.
