Freshman year of college is a new and exciting start in my educational life. Back in High School, my school didn’t offer as many clubs/organizations like in Baruch. The variety of club choices in college is appealing and there are so many options to choose from. At first I had no clue which club in particular to join because there were lots of clubs that interested me. I’ve heard various reviews on different clubs. At the end of the day I signed up for the Accounting Society located in room 3-239.

The first person I spoke with was Gabby Capello who is a senior at Baruch and also the vice president. She informed me of what the club was all about and the benefits of joining. The club isn’t only fun but also offers lots of information around the accounting field. I spoke with other kids from the club too that shared their experiences. Mostly everyone from the club was extremely friendly and had positive words from their involvement. I was invited to sit through the general interest meeting which had free food and a bunch of students. Even though Accounting isn’t my intended major I would like to learn more about it. The Accounting Society will hold lots of meetings and get representatives from professional firms to come to their club and give out speeches. Through this club you can make a great deal of connections with professionals in this field. These people have been through the same process and will share advice on how to succeed. The club itself will hold multiple meetings educating group members around the field of Accounting. I like that this club will meet during my breaks and its a learning experience. Last summer I actually interned at a big accounting company that gave me the opportunity to work with this material . I got valuable knowledge out of it and hope to gain more with this club. The club meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Another great perk of Accounting Society is that they will hold numerous workshops but the one that stood out for me was help with the interview process. This workshop will brush up on interview skills specifically when meeting face to face with possible employers.

To sum it all up, I am eager to learn from this club. Hopefully I will get to meet lots of inspiring people and learn from this club.
