My Role Here

When I hear the question about my current role in Baruch community as a scholar, I find it really hard to answer this question due to timing. I feel as though we are still just getting used to things and haven’t really had time to create a role in the school. However, I feel as the month’s progress by that my answer will change because I think that we should have more of an understanding in our sense of community and a responsibility of involvement.

The schools has given us things such as a free tuition in the Honors program, so we should as part of this program do the same and give back to the school. It may not just be financially in the future that we could give back, but rather we can give back by becoming more involved in the school. We could join clubs, take advantage of all the workshops and free help they offer now to help become very successful people in he future who can give back more then. My idea of what our role of what our role as a Baruch scholar is very similar to the things we need to fulfill as a requirement in the program. For example, as an honors member we are required to do community service in our freshman seminar class and we also have to attend a cultural event. Those our events that not only help give back to the school, but to the diversity of the city.

Volunteer work is related to the culture of service of the Honors Program since it all relates to a form of giving back to the community. In high school, I found giving back an important aspect to my school because it boosted school spirit and helped put a smile on people’s face especially during periods of trouble such as after Hurricane Sandy hit. However, not only is volunteer work good for the culture of the program, it can help us grow individually also.
