Where am I off to now?

I remember during the first few weeks of the semester, I felt surprised and almost in awe of all the resources and support centers at Baruch. I was thinking about all these resources that were introduced to us after almost every freshman seminar. The SACC center, library resources, the incredibly easy access to help at any time through either, my peer mentor, or my advisor … really? There wasn’t nearly this many resources in high school!
My group and I are planning on volunteering for Bideawee, which is an animal shelter that focuses on helping animals that have been abandoned, or abused by healing physical wounds, as well as emotional wounds in animals. Our group wouldn’t have been able to find this organization if it weren’t for the library seminar, which gave us several suggestions on search engines for non-profit and charity organizations. Also, if it weren’t for the help of my peer mentor, I wouldn’t have known what direction to take in the community service project.
Adjusting to college life, for me, is hard, and I’m still in the process of adjusting, especially academically. I’ve gone to the SACC center for help with math, and it’s helped me understand concepts that weren’t clear to me before. I’m still struggling with math, but hopefully, with more practice and patience, I’ll improve.
I’ve wanted to join a lot of clubs this semester, but of course, I can’t be active in all of them. I’ve joined American Humanics, and I plan on staying committed to this club simply because it focuses on serving, and helping people, and it’s what I enjoy doing. I’ve wanted to join many others like Model U.N. and Solutions Without Borders, but with all the schoolwork we get, I haven’t been able to commit.
With all the people, and resources that are available to help make our adjustment to college a little easier, it’s made me feel not only less fearful, but very thankful that we have all these resources, and wonderful people more than willing to help us. I honestly don’t know how I would be faring if it weren’t for the help and support of the college resources, my peer mentor, and my advisor. I mean it when I say that I am utterly thankful, especially for John, and Mr. Medina for going out of their way to help us adjust, and make our college transition much easier than others. (I mean it! Thank you so much!)
