On November 14,2017, despite the lack of workshops that peaked my interests at the Starr Development Center, I attended a Business Career Enrichment discussion which spoke about finding a purpose in what we want to do with our lives and what exactly it means to follow a major before, during, and after college. A lot of the material was rather repetitive, but at the end of the discussion, students were open to ask the speakers. Some short videos were also intriguing. What I found most useful were the particular experiences each person shared throughout or outside one’s college career. One individual mentioned to always presenting yourself straightforwardly whenever getting the chance to network, participate in an interview, and perform routine tasks in general. Beforehand, I didn’t see a purpose in that statement, but now that I see it in action almost every day, face to face or online, I believe it is much more than it seems. I felt the workshop had more to do with students who had a goal rather than business students working toward a degree. Overall, I gained experience on how I should view opportunities and business insight.
