When I first started to work on the community service project I told myself that I was just going to use Google to find the non-profit organization because everyone knows that Google has everything. However, I was really wrong and found it difficult finding a non-profit organization that way. So thankfully the librarian, Francoir, taught us how to use the Baruch library databases and I found my non-profit organization fairly quickly that way. This helped me realize how helpful and useful those databases are and I started to use them for class assignments. One support center that I have grown to love is the Writing Center. I went to the Writing Center a couple of times for help in writing a couple of my English papers that were challenging. They helped me out with everything so clearly and every time I come out of the Writing Center, I feel that I am that much of a better writer and more knowledgeable and aware of important writing aspects that I didn’t know before. I joined two clubs that are very important to me, the Actuarial Science Society and the Handball Club. I joined the Actuarial Science Society because actuarial science is my intended major and they are very active in their events. I joined the Handball Club because I play handball on my own professionally and compete nationally and I know the club is struggling a little bit. So I joined to promote, expand, and organize the club so that it too can be very active in their events and get more recognized. After our class discussion about helping others, I felt that I have not been doing much to help others and been focusing a little too much on myself lately. This is primarily because I have been so focused on school work that I abandoned some other important aspects to life. I think that class session was an eye opener for me and I am getting more involved in my community like I use to be involved, participating in the Great American Clean Up and other social services.
