As my fro teacher told me again I will not be having lunch because we need to go to another workshop, I was very angry. It sounded stupid, boring, and was probably the last place I would want to be. As I walked in to the theater I was already planning the escape roots, but then I said maybe I will just stay for 2 minutes and then leave. At the end, believe it or not I was the one clapping the loudest. Hearing what everyone like me was going through and that people are also in the same position made me realize. It made me realize that I am not alone and that I was an idiot for not giving “voices” a chance. It was an unbelievable little play and was truly a pleasure. The way kids opened up and allowed what to be read, read- was great to hear. I am just one Baruch student who walked out with a smile and a sigh of relief. I thank the people who performed the play and the wroters of these blogs.

As many know, Lebron James took the hard road to be the leagues best player. He was given everything at a young age and realized you could not do it yourself. As a result he made a difficult decision and worked extremely hard and it all paid off. I believe this is a similar situation for me. In elementary school and high school I had good grades and everything was easy. After making a difficult decision to spend the year abroad, I just now realize that in order to succeed in college, is hard work. As a result of this hard work, I believe I am making a successful year out of this. Its not an easy adjustment to be in a college with all these responsibilities, just like it was not easy for Lebron in Miami. This man is not only my favorite person but showed me how its done. Hard work pays off an it took me a few weeks of college to realize that, but now with the finals stretch nearing, I am ready for the challenge and the rest of Baruch College.
