I believe that this workshop was a very interesting because it gathered everyone’s monologue and presented the best ones. The one guy one the right was extremely funny, and presented in ways that had the whole Mason Hall laughing. At first I wasn’t really enjoying it because I came into the workshop a little late, and they made me sit by myself with no one that I know around me. However, it got really interesting as they kept presenting everyone’s monologue. Some were sad and depressed, others were really funny. I really enjoyed this work shop and this is probably the best one out of the ones we have had.

I thought workshop #1 was quite interesting and also boring at the same time. The author of Brooklyn wasn’t really a great speaker in my opinion. I was bored because this guy’s voice wasn’t, for the lack of better word, attractive enough (by attractive, I don’t mean physically attractive, I mean like it just wasn’t drawing my attention). However, it was fun because he talked about how the book came about. I guess many people in the audience felt the same way as I did in terms of how it was boring because no one was really into it. I saw people on their computers and their phones. It was nice for Baruch to have the author come in and talk to us, but it was just a bit boring.

Well hello guys, I am just going to post what I said during class. I believe the two biggest changes in my life were when I was 11 and when I moved from New York to New Jersey. When I was 11, my entire family moved to the United States. When I first got here, I was forced to learn a new language and adapt to the new environment. I guess what really changed me and made me stronger was the fact that I was bullied for who I was in 6th and 7th grade. I wasn’t able to speak English and people often picked on me for that. Those two years were the years I would never want to go back.

I moved to Jersey in February 2008. I think this also made a huge impact and made me who I am today. I was able to start off fresh again in a new place where no one knew what happened. I was able to make new friends and they wouldn’t think that it’s “uncool” to be hanging out with the kid who is getting bullied. I started developed my self-esteem and confidence in Jersey. Jersey is where I made a lot of friends and became the person I am today.
