Aftermath of the workshop

My workshop ended on Wednesday but I do not have to time to update the blog.
I was so glad that it was finally over. The workshop was nightmarish. The guy was boosting how much money he had, and he was so arrogant. He thinks he is more superior than us because he is older and is a "multi-millionaire". He does not treat us as equal. He has a big ego, thinking that he was so great.
Throughout the workshop, he made sick, dirty jokes and uses vulgar words like 'F**k', 'bulls**t', 'idiots' etc. I don't think he is setting a good example here. Besides, he kept threatening us.
The worst had yet to come. On the second day, he was so insensitive. He asked us whose parents had died and kept poking his nose into it. It was almost liked he was gloating at it. He did not care about our feelings and I am sure he had offended a lot of students. He talked about his parents and a lot of other things concerning about our parents and made us cry. I don't even know what I was crying about. I am afterall an emotional person. Even the boys were teary-eyed. He can become a dictator if he wants to, he can control the emotions of the people so well.
I was so upset that I had thoughts about walking out. But I can't, I have a reputation to keep.

It will be different if this programme is not in school, then again, I would not have attend if I am given a choice. It was not only me who can't stand him, someone had complained to the teacher about him. Good job, he deserved it. I told my father all about him, and my father wanted to complain too. This workshop is not helpful at all, rather, I find it demoralising. I would not recommand this to anyone.
