The enrichment workshop  had a good idea behind it, but it could have made its points in half of the time. The person in the video just kept repeating himself, dancing around the same point over and over. I disagreed with some of the things that were said, but at the same time agreed with others. I think that it is important to contribute to the community, but there are better ways that it can be done. For example, students shouldn’t be forced to “volunteer” because that just Defeats the purpose. It makes it feel like more work than it is volunteering. For my new york cares project I had to help with a community garden that provides fruits and vegetables to the homeless. With the amount of time money and effort that is put into it it would make a lot more sense to just devote that time to working and then give that money to charity or just buy the fruits and vegetables which end out being cheaper. Also this FRO class was supposed to help new students adjust to college life, but all it did was make it much harder and more stressful.
