After going to the club carnival, I decided to join BASS, which is Baruch Actuarial Science Society. It is a club for students who intends to be an actuarial. As I knew there was not much people know about the industry of actuary, I didn’t expect there would be much of people in the club. However, on the first day of the club meeting, the room was flooded with people! The line of people were extended to the classroom door. On that day, we greeted our club president Meir. He briefly explained what is actuarial science, what does the industry of actuarial science has to offer and how to become an actuarial. Then, the Vice President of the club went through a list of course we could take in order to prepare for the actuarial exam.
As a freshman, I was planning to join something fun or less tense like music club or guitar club. However, I also want to know more about the actuarial science field that I want to be in since junior in high school. I am pretty thankful that Baruch has these business related club to get our feet wet even when we are in freshman year. Even though it was a bit intimated to hear all of those requirements/ course we have to take in order to become an actuarial, it was actually a way to remind myself to work hard!
In here, I would really want to take the time to thank all the seniors or juniors who are running BASS. They set up such a role model for me. The seconds that they starts speaking in front of the whole club, it amazes me. They sounds so professional! And the way they present their ideas are clear, organized and on-point.
Cheers! Great way to begin college!
