I recently applied to this program called legacy leadership program from ascend and I got accepted. This program is a 10 week professional committee that helps you develop professional skills. They start off by helping you with developing your resume, cover letters, stock pitch and etc. They also provide student mentors that will help you throughout and you can stay in touch with them after the program. This can really help me transition into college because I can ask my mentors for help whenever I need them. I had my first meeting last Friday and I realized how competitive and professional Baruch can be. Everyone is dressed up so well and the mentors seem to have this leadership role. After I complete this 10 week program, I would want to give back too by being a mentor to others who needs guidance. It was cool to hear stories of how this program affected a lot of mentees. It was not cool how half the mentors couldn’t show up to the first meeting because they had other meetings. I actually found out more about accounting since there were mentors there that worked in the accounting field. I feel like this program won’t be a waste of time since its professional development, which I really want to learn. It can possibly build up my resume and help me develop personally. My experience was great. We had a meet and greet with all the mentors that showed up for about 5 minute each. After the meet and greet, we got to chose the top three mentors we want. And then after they’ll mix and match for us. After the meet and greet with the mentors, we went to have dinners together to know everyone on a more personal side and talk about anything. I am very excited that I have applied and gotten accepted to this program because it’s the first steps that can help me transition into college. This program is opened to any year and every semester for those who is interested.
