Tranfer Motivational Conference

Despite all the talking during the presentations of the guest speaker I had an amazing time at the conference. I disliked the fact that a lot of people were talking while the guest speakers or the college representatives were presenting. It made me very upset because I wanted to hear what they had to say in order to learn new things. The biggest highlight was Cruz Reynoso because I enjoyed hearing the stories of his life and stories of his family. It was very inspirational hearing his words of wisdom and how he conveyed us to become together as a group and let the schools know that we want to go back to the old system in which college students did not have to pay for classes. Hearing how he had to work on the field picking fruits and working hard and still managed to become such an important figure in politics made think that if you ever want to be somebody, you have to work hard make sacrifices and not give up. For me this conference was serious although it seemed that it was the opposite for other people. I felt very dissapointed and ashamed to be part of the Foothill Puente program because some of my classmated kept being asked to be quiet. I felt very disspaointed because I thought that they were not representing our school. I do not mind whether my classmates get mad me for publishing this but it seemed for them that they were not taking the conference serious. It seemed so because when I went to my workshop half of the class was in the same worshop. I don't think that it was appropiate for them to not take advantage of this oppurtunity and learn something new. I know I should not be saying this because everyone is responsible for their own actions, everyone makes different choices and some peopke made them at the conference by talking and during the guest speakers presentation. From my point of view it prevented some people from learning.
