I first knew Carol when I attended her seminar conducted at Taylor's Business School. The President of TBS was kind enough to invite me. This was the best financial planning seminar I've ever attended. And after a year in college, I find that Carol is the best speaker that was invited to Taylor's. She showed me how important it is to manage my money and how to earn a little extra.
The best part was when we got to calculating "how much you have to save for your retirement". I was shocked when i knew I had to save 4 million$$$$ for my retirement fund. It nearly blew my mind. I really enjoyed that seminar.
As the Vice President of the members' development and welfare department of BE ADP (the Business Entrepreneur Society of the American Degree Program of Taylor's), I've decided to bring in a speaker that will educate business major students of the American Degree Program on personal financial planning as I've discovered that managing money is a critical issue among college students.
The first person on my mind was Ms. Carol Yip. I knew she'd be able to do it and true enough, I've manage to pull her out from her busy schedule to share her knowledge with our students. I'm glad that the seminar of 120 students and lecturers that was conducted recently went on flawlessly. Either than that, Carol was kind enough to give me some personal tutoring on financial planning when we were planning for the seminar. I'm currently applying what I've learned and I'm sure it'll come to a good end. Thanks for the help Carol! and keep it up. Do what you have done for other as what you have done for me.
