When I first got to Baruch, I was reluctant to try anything. My sister tried talking me into joining her sorority. My response was, “NO FREAKIN’ WAY.” Nothing interested me, whatsoever. My best friend Bianca dragged me to an info session for this club called AIESEC. The room was packed and the club itself sounded pretty cool. I decided I should just apply for the hell of it. The interview process wasn’t bad at all. After a few billion questions about my strengths and weaknesses, followed by a phone call, and another billion questions, and another phone call, I was in. I’ve only been in AIESEC for nearly 2 months, but I can definitely say that I really like it. I’ve gotten to know some really cool people – including you, Alina- haha. Getting involved has definitely made my college experience more fun. I spend less time to myself, and more time socializing. So far AIESEC has taught me about networking, making connections, and developing as a leader with my own strengths. I love it. We have some pretty innovative people in AIESEC, that make a trojan suit of armor out of stickers. That’s real creativity. I love getting to know people that are driven, ambitious, and so nice to their newbies.
Its great to know that AIESEC is a global organization. I can’t wait until I get to travel abroad, myself, to wherever the heck I want. As far as furthering my involvement goes, I definitely want to take on more leadership positions. I’m not too sure what I want to do yet. There are so many options – organizing or facilitating a conference, being a mentor – I can’t decide. Either way, I’m going to be sticking in AIESEC for a while, and I cant wait to see what I’ll accomplish in it.
