Last Thursday I attended my first academic enrichment workshop. I went to the tech fair in Baruch. The tech fair was mostly very boring, although I went with many of my friends. Having people there that I knew made the fair tolerable (for a short amount of time). The fair was pretty much just a panel discussion of four tech companies. I did not stay the entire time, and when I was there I was only listening for about ten minutes. Although, for the most part, I did not gain much from the fair, I was listening to the panel when they focused on one core idea. An idea they focused on was that you have to be persistent. They said that you will most likely fail to get to where you want to be at first, but that the people who are where they want to be, in terms of a job or business, failed at least once prior to reaching their goal. They closed with stressing that you should not become discouraged by failure, and actually you should become more determined if you’ve failed. Overall the fair was pretty unnecessary and a waste of my time.
