The first workshop I attempted to attend was the Academic Enrichment Freshmen Reception session. However, upon arrival I found out that they had run out of room and out of folders to hand out; one of the organizers said that they had not anticipated such a large turnout. They offered to sign everyone’s books and told everyone to return the following Monday when they would have extra folders to hand out. Though I didn’t get to be part of the actual session, the experience did open my eyes to the new level of responsibility I would have to my academic career going forward. Nevermind the winding road I had to take in order to fix my Freshman Seminar class–I knew that I had to take initiative with all my requirements from then on.
