It was a dark, stormy day. My life was left with no opportunity, no belonging, no purpose. But as I was walking down the dimly lit halls of Baruch, my heart was awakened. I saw my shining light, my opportunity, my purpose. All of a sudden, I was overwhelmed with emotions, ready to burst. All I wanted to do was let it out. The Accounting Society was the perfect way to express my emotions. As I walked into the room, I was filled with joy, fear and thousand other emotions that I had not felt in my entire life. If it weren’t for this club, my life would’ve remained empty, longing for a purpose. Fortunately, that isn’t the case anymore.

I was walking down the second floor trying to figure out three things: my purpose, my calling, and my truth. While I was seeking for these things, I noticed that my legs felt heavy, my arms were swaying against the wind, and the tapping of my footsteps fell in rhythm with my heart beat. But all of a sudden, I heard voices calling my name from within the STARR office, “Albert, Albert”. But who could this be? At first, I was pretty spooked, but I came to realize that this was my answer. This was my truth, my calling, my purpose. As I heard the keyboards typing, I knew this was where I had to be. With my resume in my trembling hands, I knew I was ready. My career was about to go “infinity and beyond” (Buzz Lightyear). I was so entranced by STARR that my friends had to forcefully drag me out for my own good. Now that I’ve developed this burning passion for STARR, I don’t think I’ll ever be the same person again.
