For my career blog, I decided to go to Baruch voices. Baruch voices is an event where freshmans just like me get a chance to present their monologue in front of their peers. I decided to go because I wanted to hear different monologues. I wanted to see the different stories everyone has to share and the different backgrounds they come from. I went into Baruch voices a little late so they already began their monologues. That’s why I only took a picture of my hand with my name on it. So, the first person I listened to speak talked about how 9/11 affected his family and made non muslims racist towards muslims. It was a strong monologue because he was facing racism everyday. People were calling him Osama and he was getting picked on at school. The second person I heard from was talking about moving to America and being lonely. He came from China and had no friends because he didn’t know how to speak English. It got really sad when he was talking about how when he moved from China, he left his parents behind in China because they were giving him the education he needed to pursue his dreams in America. The third person I listened to was rapping about fake friends. He was rapping about how one of his best friend betrayed him and was talking trash about him behind his back. The rap was really emotional for him because you can tell he was really in to it. The fourth guy I listened to was the most funny. The 4th guy was talking about a spongebob episode indirectly. He mad it seem like it was his life and it was through his point of view, but in the end it took a huge turn and everyone knew that he was talking about a spongebob episode. It was really funny because throughout the whole speech, he was really serious until the end. The final person I listened to was talking about how the 5 dollar box in Popeyes meant the world to him. He said if there was no 5 dollar box then life would be useless to him. I relate to that because I always get popeyes when they have that deal but when they don’t, I have nothing to eat. Overall, my experience there was pretty cool. I got to know some peoples back stories and listened to some really interesting monologues.
