Hello everyone! To start off my life here at Baruch, I had the honor and privilege of being featured on the Humans of Baruch page. I got to share my story of my transition from a very small school to a school that’s filled with thousands of unique faces and personalities. To be honest, it’s pretty early in my college career but I’m so happy that people are willing to listen to what I have to say, even though I’m only an 18 – year old kid from Far Rockaway. I’d like to say that I’m well immersed into student life already! I currently have a Marketing Committee position in Women In Business, as well (Head of LinkedIn) and I’m joining the Hindu Student Association. It’s only been a few weeks (almost a month here!) and I already feel like I am making a statement on campus and of course, building relationships with the people I’ve come across during my many ventures. All of my friends from high school tend to tease me because I’m already so involved and I’ve just begun this college journey. Just because you’re a freshman and the youngest of the college doesn’t mean you should feel intimidated to try new things. I feel like it should motivate you to want to learn and do more! I’m very excited to see what else I can accomplish within the next four years, since I’ve already done so much in a month! I’m ready to become more than the 18 – year old kid from Far Rockaway and Baruch will definitely give me the potential to do that.

Today I went to the Networking 101 career workshop. At first, I had trouble finding the room, but I was able find it after navigating through a multitude of doors. My instructor was really ‘natural’ to the point where everything she said seemed as if it was scripted and she wasn’t afraid to step out of her comfort zone to teach us how to act and not act during an job interview. She made it a rule we had to be presentable in every interview that the first impression is the most important. From there, she branched off to how much eye contact should be used, the different postures, and hand gestures. Afterwards, she paired us up with other students and made us pretend as if we were the employer and student. She also taught us icebreakers when the interview gets uncomfortable and awkward. This career class has taught me a lot about how job interviews were like in the real world and has given me a heads up for future interviews.
