Freshman Seminar Fall 17' LC07

Last week on Tuesday, one of my classes was canceled. My friends and I decided to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to spend the extra time that we had. We went to the museum by train and it was very humid inside the train station. I remembered that I was sweating a lot and it was very crowded in the train. When we were in the museum, we had one complication. It was the ticket procedure. We initially thought that the museum was free to students but we were wrong. We had to give money to the museum for donation even if we were students. However the complications did not end there because we didn’t know how much to pay since we can give as much as we wanted. We didn’t want to pay too little or too much. Then one of my friends decided that she would pay 10 dollars for all of us and we would pay her back later.

The purpose of this trip was to bring back some information and material for one of the papers that all three of us had to do. When we went inside the Latin America Expedition, we were all working together to see which artifact would be best to write a 2-page paper. For example one of my friends suggested a artifact that I could write a lot on and she expanded on how I could write about it. Another example is that we weren’t afraid to speak up on what artifact would be a good idea and why we think that. We were helpful to one another and we became closer because of that.

I feel that this trip helped me in the first semester in Baruch because I learned great skills to work in a group. Although we had difficulties, we worked through the process. This trip also assisted me to learn many qualities to be a leader by looking at how my friend suggested on paying for all three of us while we were still contemplating on how we should pay. However this trip was most helpful in bringing good material to the 2-page paper that we all have to do.
