Throughout the application process, the orientation, convocation day, and Freshmen seminar class it was shown that Baruch College prides itself for all the different clubs it has and the diversity not only in the students but the clubs as well. With all of that said and done I felt that it was still hard to find a club that I was willing to dedicate time in to. There are definitely many clubs that I have no interest in at all and many clubs that I have interest in or would like to become passionate about. The problem being was my time, and while later on this semester or the next I will definitely be joining another club or two, choosing the first club that I would join fell to a small list. It should be obvious which club I ended up joining by the title of this post and the decision to join Toastmasters was somewhat influenced by my two friends wanting to join as well. However I feel like Toastmasters is a perfect opportunity to practice my public speaking a skill that I am sure will come in very handy not only in college but in the real world after college. I consider myself an okay public speaker I still get shaky hands and a bit nervous sometimes when going up to present in a class setting and I definitely get nervous when presenting or talking to a large group of people. The most people I have gone up in front of was probably around sixty to seventy people but the usual amount in high school was twenty to thirty-five people. Coming from a small high school I also knew all the people in the class that I was presenting in so there wasn’t as much pressure. While in Baruch I don’t know most of the people here and probably won’t just because of the sheer size of this school and the amount of people that attend. I’m excited for what will come next and for what I will learn and improve upon. When I signed up for Toastmasters today I met the president of the club, Mike, he explained how the club operates, when the meetings take place, and some of the events that they have. Public speaking may not one of my strengths but I will put the time and effort into it to make it one.
