Honestly, I don’t know what my role is, whether in the Baruch community or in the broader community. I mean I know bits and pieces but I can’t seem to piece together the full picture. I know that in Baruch, at least part of my role is to study hard and to maintain a fair GPA. Making a friend here and there would not hurt either but aside from that I don’t know anymore.
When I was in high school, my main purpose was to study hard and try to maintain a good GPA. Other than that, my high school life was just hanging out with friends and killing time. I could have done more during my time in high school but I was being lazy. I did not know what to do and did not feel like getting out of my comfort zone and finding out.
This time, I want to do thing differently. So for my freshman year I signed up for a number of different clubs in Baruch. I went to the information session for a couple of them and found something that I was interested in. Right now, I devote a good portion of my time outside the classroom with my chosen club.
As for my role in the broader community, I think I should volunteer my time to helping my community. But I do not want to just get involved in anything; I want to spend my time working for a cause that I genuinely believe in. As of right now, I do not know that cause is but I will volunteer regardless and see if I cannot find something that I like to do and is beneficial to the community.
