The final blog, I can’t believe it is almost the end of the semester. Writing this blog makes me feel a little heartbreaking. I was really scared to leave high school because it was my comfort place, a place where I play a certain role and developed relationships with those around me. I was scared wit the idea of leaving it, leaving my identity. I am happy that Baruch has these LC classes because it helps you slowly shift into a more independent environment. After researching clubs and going to many events, I finally join one club that I feel like it is the “place” to be in. Joining the club leading me to form friendships with older students. I am very thankful for those friendships because they have many useful advise to offer about being a freshman. Join this club also lead me to become friends with members of other clubs.
I had used the tutoring center for help in math class, with homework and test review sheets. I also made an appointment for the writing center; I hope to use this appointment to rewrite my essay. I had used the library for online research and for borrowing books.
For our community project, we used online resources that were recommended by our Liberian. Besides the online resources, I think the John and Mr. Medina has been the most encouraging people. This projected gave me a chance to work with other students and during the process I had the chance of getting to know them better and becoming friends. I think the hardest part of this project as finding the right organization to fits your passion and also getting in contact with the organization. I think base on my research of our organization, I learned that feeding hungry is one thing, but it is extremely important to help people to become independent. I think Google Document was one of the most important device I used during this project and it will be one device I will continue to use in the future for any kind of group work.
I guess this is the end of the journey, 再见!
(There is no word for “good-bye” in Chinese, only for “see you again” so I hope will see you again in the future.)
