The Rubin Museum was very fascinating. Buddhism and Hinduism are religions that have always greatly interested me so getting the chance to study them more closely was a nice experience. The art was beautiful and it was so amazing to see such ancient pieces so well preserved. I saw a lot of statues of Gods ornate in gorgeous jewels, some were happy, some were calm, some were furious, some were standing on top of children, it was all so intriguing.
I definitely enjoyed Baruch Voices. All of the monologues were amazing and as I sat and watched I was very impressed. All of the monologues were very well put together and I really feel that some of my peers are marvelous writers. The whole thing was just a great experience. I liked how the actors were able to take the experiences of others and interpret them for themselves and the audience without actually cheapening anything. Some of the monologues were very deep and personal and some were cute and light-hearted. I laughed at certain points and wanted to cry at certain points, which was awesome. All of those really heavy monologues were great, and if you are making a monologue about who you are, then of course you should get personal, but it was never too much to handle, it was intense at times but not too intense.
Beginning in 9th grade i have spent one Sunday a week at a place called JCHB ( The Jewish Community House of Bensonhurst ) volunteering. There i watch over little kids as they play different sports such as basketball, volleyball, soccer and Ping- Pong. When i first started doing this i thought that it would be very boring, but i was surprised. The kids were fun and receptive to instructions, the other volunteers were my age, and i never really lost interest. Over the years i started coming to the JCHB more often until i was offered a job there. Now i do not volunteer on Sundays as often as i used too, but i still come by two or three times a month.
Baruch Voices was an interesting experience. I got to hear many different monologues. Personally, I did not like Baruch Voices because most of the monologues were too personal. While I have no problems with personal monologues the fact that the monologues were presented by someone other than the original writer of the monologue made me feel that the monologue lost some of its personality. On the other hand i did enjoy listening to some of the monologues, many of which were very interesting.

My name is Bernard Agrest, I am 17
years old and I am a freshman at Baruch. I was born in Russian and moved to
America when I was 5 years old. I speak both Russian and English fluently.
Coming from Midwood High school, a school with a population of almost 5000, fit
into 1 small building, I have had no problem adjusting to the amount of people
in Baruch. My passion is playing the piano. I started playing the piano 6
months ago, and from there my interest and love for the instrument has only
grown. My favorite types of music are classic rock, and metal. My favorite
sports are basketball and volleyball.
I don’t think that its easy to
describe yourself, but id have to say the thing that I find that the most
important about myself is my realism. Some people always try to see something
good or bad in life, but I see life as it is. I’m also an eternal
procrastinator, which most people would say is a bad thing, but it somehow
works for me. The closer I am to an assignment being due, the easier I find it
to settle down and do the work. There
are many things that are different in college than In high school. The workload
is more serious, and the teachers never pester you to give it in on time. I
find this a lot better than a constant annoying reminder to do your homework,
even if occasionally I will forget to do a hw. Another thing that is different
in baruch is the use of electronics. Most teachers don’t care, about you having
a cell phone out, as long as it doesn’t interrupt their lesson. The best thing
about college so far is the long weekend I have every week. Having a 3 day
weekend allows me to get all my homework done without worrying about classes,
but it also leaves me with sufficient time to hang out with friends and just
relax.
