Last Thursday, I went to some clubs to see am I interested to join. However, I choose to participated in Alpha Kappa Psl which is an organization helps you to developed professional skills that includes dress code, speaking, resumes and etc. in business fields. I went to this meeting and make my decision to join is because it is really good for my major as being an accountant to work with business in the future.

The members that was taking charge of the club were very welcome. There was a girl named Sarah, she invited me and my friends to go in and very friendly to introduced herself at first then telling us not to worry because we were the only freshmans in that meeting. We had some food right before the meeting starts and the president introduced the club with a presentation. It provided fully details such as what activity they have been doing in the past few years and how does the club helps to develop your business professional skills by walking with you step by step. Also in order to become a member, I have to be qualify by going to 3 events such as 1 general interest meeting, 1 professional, and 1 social or philanthropy in order to meet the standard for this club.

Lastly, I hope I wouldn’t regret on the decision I made. I am so excited to make some new friends in the club which we could help each other in the path to be successful as the life goes. I am really to get more involved and learn more about what the club has provided.

For the first few weeks of Baruch, I was unsure of what club or student organization I wanted to be a part of. As the first few weeks went on, I heard my friends  talk about Hillel and why Hillel was the scene of the “chill”. They mentioned all the lunchtime learning initiatives, and how the free food was incredible. The one thing that all my friends kept mentioning but continued to stick to me was that it was a community. I decided that in order to make my Baruch experience even more enjoyable, I needed to be a part of some community and Hillel would be the perfect fit.

When I walked into Hillel, I was shocked by the amount of people that were just there to chill. I saw ten of my friends all sitting together eating some pizza and sandwiches and just talking about there day. I sat down and chilled alongside them, when the president of the Hillel came over to me and introduced all the daily activities that go on throughout the day. Theres lunch and learn with free lunch, Sunday events and guest speakers that come to speak on a regular basis. I signed up and sat in on a lunch and learn that was taking place in the back. Even though the Hillel was a little small and cramped, it still fostered a environment of community. Everyone either knew each other, had mutual friends, or met someone new. Hillel is a really good resource for meeting new people but also being able to hang out with friends that you already know. I also felt really comfortable talking to students from the higher grades and was able to get some much needed advice for the year. Now I know that the Hillel is a place I could come to to utilize helpful resources and to meet up and chill with friends.
