Community Global Awareness

This workshop was done to fulfill my career section. At first, it was frustrating a little because the room was way different and I thought that we wouldnt be able to attend it due to limited seating. We got the seats though. I was there with Agnes, Michael, Jeffrey and Brian. The workshop host was about a gay guy who was part of the LGBT community. In this, he talked about how he was turned gay at the age of 27 and before that, how he got an internship working under the administration of Bill Clinton. He said that it was one of the most memorable experiences ever because many people dont work with the President everyday. He talked about how hard his life was not because he was gay, but because people were being racist towards his ethnicity (he was Latino and German I believe). His main point, in the end, was the fact that whether you work in New York, or anywhere, people will always want to put you down so that they can succeed and they can push you back. He said that you have to ignore those people and always strive your best and reach to the top so that you can become successful.
