There were a couple Freshman Seminar workshops that I really enjoyed. However, for the purpose of this blog I have to single one out. I would say that my favorite workshop thus far was the Baruch Voices act that we attended one week prior. I went to the act not knowing what to expect, tired and to be honest, grumpy that I had to go. I planned on sleeping through it. My attitude when I left Baruch Voices was completely different than the negative one I entered with. I enjoyed the actors and actresses and the presentation of the monologues. I stayed awake through the entire thing because it was so captivating. I liked how they read the names of the students out loud either before or after their monologue reading because it’s fun to hear the work of people I know. At one point in time I was even able to guess the name of whose monologue was being read before their name was said.
Although Baruch Voices had many other positives, the coolest part was seeing that other kids are going through the same struggles that everybody else is and they aren’t afraid for people to know. Also, many students problems are way more severe than even mine are which made me realize how good I actually have it. Consequently, Baruch Voices was my favorite Freshman Seminar Workshop.
