As Baruch Scholars, we are given a lot of opportunities that are usually not available to students and people in general- from free tuition, to laptops, to special attention and amazing professors. I think that because of all the benefits we receive we are expected to use what we learn to serve the greater community and to share our talents and knowledge with others. I think everyone should, in some way, give back. Whether it is offering tutoring in a subject we are particularly good at, even if it is just to our friends within the program who might be weak in the subject, or serving food in a local soup kitchen- we should find something we are passionate about and share that with others.
I also think that to fulfill our roles as Baruch Scholars more fully, we need to take advantage of all we are offered. It is important to not be ignorant, but rather work towards finding everything available to us, taking full advantage of it, and then sharing it with others. All the services and opportunities that are available to us shouldn’t just be ignored, but rather used to enrich our learning
The project, in a way, promotes and cultivates the spirit of service by giving us a base with which to start serving the community. It introduces us to the idea of becoming more involved and sharing our talents. It serves as the springboard for future endeavors in serving the community, both within and outside of Baruch.
