We’ve had several enrichment workshops in our FRO experience. My favorite one was Baruch Voices. Although it could get boring, it was interesting to hear about everyone’s college and personal experiences. I liked how different the monologues were, some were funny, others emotional and then there were the really boring ones.. My favorite actor was the Asian actor he was hilarious and made every monologue entertaining. The downside to the voices workshop was that I really didn’t like the female actors and I feel like they made me dislike the monologues they were reading. I’d have preferred if the writers themselves read their monologues the way they were intended. Some of them were relatable because they talked about the school experience. One of the monologues was about how Baruch is like high school and that is exactly how I feel. It was nice to hear the writing of peers and also cool to hear the monologue of one of our classmates being acted out. Overall Voices was an interesting experience compared to the other workshops, but not one I would like to repeat.

Anthony, thank you for your reflection and your suggestion about reading your own blogs. I agree that sometimes people fail to capture our voice. At the same time, different interpretations can provide us with different perspectives on a situation.
Haha, this post is mine!
