I was never the type of person to participate in school activities or clubs. Well I was in high school but only when I had time during school. Not on my own free time. I was always very busy and always had something to do, which was mandatory. So I had no idea what club to go to or where the clubs were so I went with a friend. She took me to a club called tamid. Tamid is a business oriented club, which was great for me because I love learning about money! They occasionally hold panelist discussions with entrepreneurs and actually had an entrepreneur speak at the Hillel the other day which was followed by a networking event. I do not remember the entrepreneurs name which means he probably was not so big but it was still cool that they actually had someone come speak. Tamid is also a club in other schools such as Yeshiva University, Columbia and New York University. Experiencing a club at Baruch was much different from high school in regards to professionalism. Clubs at my high school were run by students who only ran the club because it looked good on their resume. Very few people were actually passionate about the club. Baruch is different. Based off the one club I went to, it seemed as if the leaders actually cared about the club and put effort into running it.

This past week I attended a workshop at the SAC tutoring center for my mathematics 2300 class. I thought I would fly through pre-calc because I took it in high school but now I realized I cannot because I never payed attention in class. My tutor for the afternoon was unexpectedly really helpful. Math class has been very stressful and rigorous so far so this is exactly what I needed. We went over my previous test and I learned a lot from him. I would have taken a picture but honestly I attended the workshop before even looking at the assignment sheet for our second blog. It is really nice how these older students in the school take there free time to help tutor us freshman in subjects that are giving us difficulty. The whole environment at SAC is great and everyone is really caring and helpful. I asked the front desk workers about 15 questions before signing up and they kindly helped me and didn’t get annoyed or frustrated by any of it. If it were me I would have started giving some attitude after the 5th question, but they were very nice. Overall, my experience at SAC was great and definitely really helpful so I am definitely going to continue to go and learn some more from the tutors there.
