Think of a memorable embarrassing moment in your life.Describe and analyze the situation: what identity that you publically claimed did you perceive as being discredited? What was the source of embarrassment? Did you attempt to save face; if so, how? What was the outcome?

I was recruited to throw javelin in college so visited schools during my senior year of high school.I had edited a DVD of my best throws to show to coaches during the visits.On one visit, my brother and I sat in the coach's office and he put the DVD into his computer.Rather than my video, an erotic commercial of a half-nude woman began to play through viewing application.I was embarrassed, imagining that the coach thought that I had inserted the commercial into the video.I was trying to claim the identity of a responsible student-athlete, and perceived the video to challenge this identity.The source of the embarrassment was a combination of lacking professionalism to be a student-athlete at a well-respected college and the privacy violation of watching a half-nude woman on screen with my brother and a prospective coach.I attempted to save face by exiting the screen and starting the video again; I did not apologize or provide an account.The coach did not mention the incident and continued to recruit me to the track program.
