Hey Everyone,
So my name is Julie, I live in Manhattan, have a brother and sister, and went to high school around the corner, Baruch High School. I learned how to play the instrument, flute, in middle school and really enjoyed it. However, since that was a borrowed instrument from the school, I never had the chance to play it since then. In high school, I had two years of AP art and realized that I really enjoy drawing; I even wanted to study in architecture after that! I didn’t do that and ended up in Baruch College to study actuarial sciences because my family and friends convinced me that studying in the arts will make me have to live my life poor. Many people don’t know what is actuarial sciences when I tell them I want to study that in college, well, it’s people that study about risks in the world. These professionals usually work in the insurance, stock market, natural disasters, and some other risk-related companies. I want to do this because I really like math and have interest in the sciences – maybe I’ll be working for the people that calculate the chances of having the next largest natural disaster.
In addition, I am a very shy and reticent girl. Hopefully, THE 1041 will make me louder and have more confidence in myself. That’s all, thanks for reading!
