To be a successful college student is to take advantage of every opportunity you have the chance to. My participation in the Community Service Project has encouraged me to draw upon the expertise of faculty and staff specifically with Tamara’s help with all of the Baruch Scholars in the process of our projects. I’ve learned the importance of asking question in order to assure I’m proceeding with my progress correctly. I look forward to the community service project as our organization, New York Cares, has so many options that we are bound to find volunteer opportunities that suit our interests and in turn make us grow as people while helping other simultaneously. Baruch has many clubs during club hours, but my biggest issue was finding a club to fit my interests. So far I have joined NYMIA (the New York Music Industry Association) and I have interviewed for TEAM Baruch. NYMIA has already improved my college experience, allowing me opportunities to network with other musicians, meet music professionals at panels, and indirectly allowed me to join Grammy U in which I attended a sound check for Troye Sivan for free. Three years from now, I see myself as a senior at Baruch preparing for my last semester of college. As my intended major is Management of Musical Enterprises, I see myself with an extensive knowledge of music compared to what I have currently. I will be continuing my music internship that was mandatory during my junior year and hopefully will have formed a band and/or joined a music group to play with on a regular basis. I see myself changing for the better as I see myself already beginning to do in the beginning of college, whether it be socially as becoming more friendly as I have or academically as I have started learning how to study properly, specifically for psychology. I look forward to seeing who I become in my years at Baruch.
