The workshop that I attended focused primiarily on resume writing. I thought it was very helpful. I have written a number of resumes for different afterschool jobs that I applied for. Of course, they were not on the same scale or matched the same significance as those needed for full-time jobs, but basically i’m saying that I had an idea of how to write a resume. When I near graduation, I will definetly attend another one of these.
During the summer, I read the memoir on the early life of Charles Lee. I enjoyed the book. I thought it said alot about being your own person and withstanding turmoil. Last week, when he came to our school I was pretty excited to see what he looked like and how he would talk and different things like that. When we got to there we had to sit way at the top and I could barely hear or comprehend what he was saying at times because the microphones were not that loud. However, he seemed like a down-to-earth individual. From what I could get from it, I learned that no matter what life throws at you, you can get through. The fact that Charles Lee was at our school and speaking to us all showed me that you can face life’s adversities.
Mostly everything I learned in the Career workshop I learned already. I learned it throughout high school and I even knew how to write a resume. Apply for a job may not be easy but you need the confidence inorder for you to succeed. The career workshop was helpful for those that needed it. Also I hated how there were many distruptions such as corny jokes from other students in the workshop. They honestly weren’t funny and they were annoying me a lot! =P Just adding my point
Honestly throughout the whole workshop, I wasn’t paying attention but I do admire Charles Li. He is a great writer with many obstacles through his life. The thing that surprised me the most was when he said his slum days even though he was the poorest and he didnt have much, it was the happiest days in his life. I admire his life and how much he went through to become who he is now. But I was really hungry during the workshop and I was eating my sandwich. Sorry =/

I think that is it for now! If you have any questions, make an appointment with the Center for Academic Advisement and here is their contact information:http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/advisement/contact.html . They are very busy around registration time so I suggest if you are confused in any way, they should be able to explain things more clearly.
