Enrichment Workshop

I did not retain anything from the enrichment workshop. I didn’t think it was right how the school set up the workshop. The school placed it on a time slot where many students had things to do. Although I had nothing to do, I could see the visible stress that my classmates were under when they learned about the workshop. But what rendered this workshop useless was the way the plain and simple minded message was paraded as something educationally divine. It was that fake profoundness that made me look at everything skeptically. The “do good makes you feel good” theme was established when I was four years old, so there’s no need to break it down letter by letter like it was the theory of relativity. The forty minute video, the workshop leader taking questions, and the incessant need to talk about vague personal experiences were all excessively unnecessary. First, the video should ideally be five minutes long, not over thirty minutes long. The workshop leader rambled on and on about unrelated subject matters. Furthermore, the workshop leader taking questions that weren’t there was humorous, but not a smart way to spread his message. Picking on people that are mandated to be there is an act that resembles poking at a fly after ripping its wings off. Lastly, when he was speaking about his experiences I felt like I was on the train listening to homeless people go on about their past. In all, I felt that this hour long proceedings could have been better expressed in the medium of an email.
