I liked the workshop that taught us how to manage stress more. Sometimes freshmen become distress during their first year of college since adapting from high school to college requires a great amount of effort and focus. This workshops was helpful for all of us surely because our courses’ assignments/test challenge us significantly. The difference between high school and college is that the students depend on themselves more than on others, like teachers or parents. Thanks to this workshop, I found a helpful way to deal with school stress. While FRO offered many great educational sessions, it also made it fun. It’s fine as it is–It does not need any changes!

Lies. Everyone has told lies. There are many ways to lie: either for yourself or for others. Many different cultures feel that telling fids is a moral destruction. But I feel that there are times that you should be allowed to lie. For example, when you know someone who’s a little overweight and he/she asks you to honestly tell her if “she’s fat,” I wouldn’y have the valor to be honest. And seriously, if you know your truth might make someone feel uncomfortable, it’s best to keep it to oneself. However, it is always safe to keep track on your lies. If you consistently tell fids, you might loose sense on what’s right and wrong.

It is OK to lie if you want to prevent hardships or pain. But if you start lying for your self-benefit that might change things a little. Things might not start working out alright for you anymore because of the many times you lied. Be careful and what you keep and secret and what you don’t. Lies might start turning into excuses and excuses doesn’t lead to succesfulness. Although it’s always to be honest with others, it is always important to be honest with yourself first.

Hello. As you all hopefully know, my name is Samuel but people usually call me Sam or Sammy. I was born in Ecuador and I moved to The U.S. in 2007. Since I’ve been moving constantly throughout my life, I’ve realized that I adjust pretty easily. The more I move, the more things I find out about myself. When I was a kid, I used to be obsessed with dancing. I used to watch movies, like “Step up”, and come up with my own dancing moves. I must admit I’m pretty good at it. Even when I was in high school, I was part of a few crews. And at some point, I performed at various shows outside and at school. Since many people complemented me and suggested I should pursue dancing, I made the decision to move to NYC and see if I could kick it off from here. When I moved to NYC from Chicago, I started taking college courses while I settled in this new city. Taking college courses, I realized I also had a passion for math. It was then when I realized that I wanted to pursue a career for Accounting or Finance. Now, I realized that I can make a career out of anything because I am good learner that is always trying to perfect his skills. In high school, I remember I wanted to play all the sports at my school. And I did. Although I didn’t know how to play most of the sports, like volleyball, football, swimming, water polo, baseball , I still achieved the different skills that I needed for those sports. I’m always up to learn something new. I keep changing the direction where I’m heading to because I see that I’m good at other things. For now, Accounting and Finance is what I’m pursuing. Maybe I will change it in the future but for now I’m satisfied with what I’m heading to. I like changes–It allows you to learn about other things you didn’t know.

Oh, and as of dancing, I plan to start practicing this summer. I made a few connections this past fall. I will see where that takes me
