It is evident that if a college student wants to succeed, he or she needs to be able to utilize the various resources around him or her. As an honors student at Baruch College, I am fortunate enough to say that I have a plethora of resources to draw upon. Whether it be professors, faculty, peers, the library, or internet databases, I have all the tools I need at my finger tips.When I was first given this community service project, I wondered where I would go to begin. Luckily I had a great peer mentor who was able to assist me with a lot of my queries. I was also assisted by the great databases that come with admission to Baruch College. With these resources I was able to find a great non profit organization to volunteer for. Using these resources has helped give me an edge with my other classes, because it has given me the experience of talking to faculty as well as consulting the various databases. These are essential skills when it comes to college life, and I am glad that I was given the opportunity to get a head start at fine tuning these skills. This community service project has really opened my eyes to how essential it is for everyone to chip in and offer what they can. It is important for me to be considerate of other people’s needs. This project has opened my eyes to the world around me and how I can help change it. I am very glad that I got the opportunity to partake in this project
