I went to three workshops so far this semester. The first one was the Baruch Voices and the second one was the enrichment writing workshop. The third one was a play or musical on what to do in your first semester in college. I thought the enrichment writing workshop was very boring and it didnot really help me or inspire me. I thought the Baruch Voices was good and kind of inspiring but it was boring , long and played out. The most interesting one, I felt was the play or musical because it was funny, I learned different things from it and it was also inspiring. It was good because as they were teaching what to do and not do in college it also made jokes and sang different funny songs. The play also taught us many things to do in college. For example, it told us what to do in dorms, what to do in the city and how to overall suceed in your freshman year in college and beyond that. It was also inspiring how the kids were able to act and sing on stage in front of a crowd of people and they were only a couple years older than me. I am more of a quiet person so it always amazes me when people sing and make different jokes in front of a bunch of people. I hope that one day I will be able to feel comfortable in front of a crowd of people and do what I want to do and say what I want say. I don’t feel comfortable saying a speech in a classroomso I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like in an audotorium in front of a bunch of people. The kids were very good in that play and it inspired me. I hope that one day I will be able to feel comfortable in front of a whole crowd.
