Baruch Undergraduate Club Fair

On Tuesday, September 28, I was very excited about attending the Baruch College Club Fair, not only as a prospective member, but as a leader of the Mock Trial program at Baruch College. I had dreamed of this moment ever since I visited Baruch, to be able to be a leader of a program at Baruch, especially of the Mock Trial team, which has everything to do with my dreams of being a lawyer and utilizing the resources around me at this school. Unlike most students, I got the chance to see what it is like to be a leader representing a program. When doing so, I soon realized that there is a lot of pressure around having to represent an organization and be able to clearly indicate a strong message to encourage people to jump on board with your passions. In simple words, I gained so much respect for sales people since selling something isn’t as easy as it seems. When having to explain, i felt confident but also a little of anxiety. Why? Because I never was put on the spot like this before. I never was put to test to have to answer such an intelligent question. The first time was hard; I haven’t heard from that member ever since. But once I did it two or three more times, I sounded like a forty year veteran of Mock Trial! In addition to just learning how to be a representative, this event also opened up my eyes to just how much is at Baruch College. I never realized that programs like ‘Caribbean Association” even existed and many more. The point is that it really opened up my eyes and made me think wow, how much does this school really offer. I could literally find an organization that has to do with everything I could ever think of. Going to the Club Fair provided me such a valuable experience from simply opening my eyes to what Baruch has to me gaining leadership experience, it’s tough to be able to have all of that happen in just one event.
