I was very surprised by this work shop, unlike most of the others i have gone to this one was very helpful. Most of the students attending were not freshmen but were attending it for because they thought it was helpful. It was held in relatively small room that wasn’t packed. Only about 20 kids were there. There were two presenters, both were very lively and informative. Food was mostly veggies and some chips.
The workshop took a hands on approach to get its point across- helping us learn to have effective small talk. After a short PowerPoint presentation the lead presenter asked us to introduce ourselves to 4 people. I talked to some older students including a senior named Chuck. Chuck was very helpful, gave me some good advice about finding a internships in the future. This actually proved the whole point of the workshop that talking to others can help you. The next activity was a small quiz, everyone got all the questions right. After some lollipops as rewards we were asked to talk to one more person after which it was over.
