The workshop taught me a lot about having positive thoughts about everything. Everything has a good side to it and to think positively helps relieve the stress from the work in college. Also, it taught me that we should all help people. I didn’t realize it before, but doing the New York Cares Project actually made me feel better. It is a really good thing to show your support in the community we live in. The enrichment workshop helped me think positively about things I might not feel to happy about.

One of the toughest adjustments for me this far in college is the length of the classes. I’m used to classes being less than an hour because of high school. It is really difficult to pay attention in class for an hour and a half. I find myself falling asleep a lot in some of my classes. I try my best to stay awake but eventually I just give in. I find myself falling asleep mostly in classes where there is just a lecture the entire time. I find myself still trying to adjust to the length of classes and not falling asleep. I think I will miss something really important one day because of sleeping.

My group decided to our project on yoga because Jurgen suggested yoga and it sounded like a good idea. Yoga is important because it is an activity that is done across the world in many different places. Also, people of any age can practice yoga. Yoga is a good way for anybody to stay in shape and can also be fun. As people get older, they are not as active so yoga can be a loose workout. There is a yoga session here at Baruch on Thursdays.

1. What have you learned about yourself through your self-assessments and how has this affected your choice of a major?
I learned that I don’t really have much of an artistic side and I prefer to have a job where it’s organized. I also learned my career should be something where I am in a leadership position because I’m talkative and I’m really confident.

2. How do these results reflect a change from what you expected or planned for yourself previously?
I will probably try to go for something like Business Management and try to use that major to play a role in sports.

3. How did participating in Focus 2 help you clarify a future direction for yourself?
Focus 2 helped me realize some things about myself that I don’t really think about. Focus 2 helped me do an evaluation about myself. It helped me figure out things that I enjoy and things about my personality.
