On Thursday April 14th I attended Baruch Voices. The room seemed chill with ambient music in the background and pleasantly dimmed lights. We soon sat waiting for the participants to be introduced. For our class FRO DTC Vanessa and Ilias represented us. Ilias went first and gave the same excellent performance he gave in class. I liked his monologue a lot because I could relate to it. Vinny was another participant from a different class and he wrote a poem about his views on society, it was much different than most monologues I’ve heard and I really liked it. My least favorite presentation was the guy who talked about pokemon for what seemed like forever. His piece was on how pokemon has helped him succeed which was really monotonous. In the end I enjoyed the whole event because now I feel more connected to my fellow freshmen and know them a little better than I did before.
