    The three things I learned at the workshop on etiquette are:

    1. To never wear a tuxedo before 6.

    2. Always have the middle button on a suit or Tuxedo button and sometimes the first one, but never the thrid one.

    3. To never talk about religion or about politics at the dinner table because people are very strict on what they believe in.

    The Etiquette workshop was very informative. The following is a list of a few things i learned:

    1. Never wear a tuxedo before 6. The tux is meant for gatherings in the late evening or night.

    2. The buttons on a suit are Sometimes, always, and never. I previously thought the order was always, sometimes, and never. This really helped.

    3. A gentleman never corrects another gentleman in public.

    I think all three of the tips i noted were surprising to me, especially the third one! But overall, there were many more things i learned from the workshop that will definitely help me next time i am at a formal occasion, or just out with friends.

    From the lecture I learned many of the things that are expected of me in order to
    present myself properly in society. Of those that I found most interesting were the thank
    you notes, the table manner tips, and how to tie a tie.

    I’ve kind of understood the idea that you should always give thanks to a person
    you received a gift from, but the idea of sending notes was a nice idea to me. I would like
    to try to attempt it to see if it makes others react more positively.

    I have learned a lot from the part of the lecture on table manners, from how to
    organize the utensils to how to properly use the napkin, I’m excited to try to try it out the
    next time I got to eat.

    Finally, I learned the steps to tying a tie. Although I haven’t completely mastered
    the skill yet, I am looking forward to the day that I won’t have to ask for help in order to
    tie it.
