South Africa’s Cape of Good

I picked South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope as my picture to identify my experience thus far, since it’s such a great metaphor to my experience here. I feel as if I am standing at the edge of a cliff, surrounded by amazing things, in Africa its nature but here at Baruch it would be a new environment… College. I am nervous about grades and want to do well, but at the same time there are so many things here to see, try, explore, and obviously taste (Free Food like everyday) that I am excited for it a little bit. It’s also hard, just like balancing at the edge of a cliff; it’s hard to keep up with everything in my daily life. From sports, to school, to just regular responsibilities its all difficult to handle, but unlike standing at the edge of a cliff doing that, I welcome the challenge college life brings.

The enrichment workshop provided me with great tutelage from making mistakes that I would have inevitable if I had not gone to the workshop. I now understand how difficult it will be running a club and balancing school at the same time, but I am glad to know that people can do it, and some have even provided tips for an easier transition from a full time student, o a full time student and club president. Some hints they provided us with were involved with finding the time for all the tasks, the better and worse ways of dealing with other people that your club might depend on. Finally how to deal with professors if you feel overwhelmed and need more time for assignments or more time to study for that pesky mid term.

Me and my group picked sports as our theme since the majority of us are into sports we felt we could excel at this selected topic. The articles fir into our theme well and gave us good diversity at the same time since we were interested in different sports thus broadening our reach in the general interest of our peers. My individual role was one international article and one random article, the random article I kind of cruised NY times until I found one I liked but the international I had my eyes set on this past Olympic games from the start. It has made me more interested in the NY times articles, and occasionally se what’s new.
