Through out the planning of my group’s Community Service Project, I’ve not only learned about the non-profit organization, City Harvest, but also learned a lot about myself as well. Yes, there are many people in need and it is highly important and even necessary to lend a helping hand, but what I have come to realize is that it is also very important to remember yourself and that it is not selfish to focus on ones own goals and use the resources given to them. Here at Baruch College, and everywhere, involvement in student activities and engaging with peers and teachers is extremely vital to maximize your learning experience and overall college experience to enjoy it at its fullest. From my team work with FUAM, I’ve realized that instead of putting myself second and even being stubborn to get help, I should utilize the many services Baruch has to offer. For example, The Writing Center and SACC have both been a tremendous help to me helping me with every problem a long the way, whether a rough draft or help with a challenging webwork. I’ve now come over my stigma or fear and know that it is now foolish to seak for outside help especially when it is right there for you to use. I also feel very fortunate to be apart of a Learning Community especially the one that I am in, LC28H, because I can honestly say I enjoy every single one of my peers’ company and look forward to seeing them daily. I am surely going to be upset next semester, when I do not have that privelege. We have been able to really connect sharing similar experiences and know we have eachother whenever we need a helping hand. From this group project and other group projects in my other courses and now know my strenghts and weaknesses towards working as a team and know the importance of being a team player. That skill will not only help me in my furtherance at Baruch, but hopefully after college in my future job.
