What Does It Mean To Serve Your Community?

When I first think of “serving your community,” soup kitchens, town fairs, and meetings come to mind. When it comes to my community at home, I help by organizing events, attending these events, and being a good person to the people around me. However, in the Baruch and broader community as a Baruch Scholar in the Honors Program, my role is to be a good student academically and socially. I came into this program believing that it would just be about doing a lot of work and having class all day. It is about that, but there is more to it. Attending a school with a highly diverse community, I must push to meet new people and learn about their lifestyles in order to appreciate the true Baruch experience. By joining clubs and being a leader, I will truly take advantage of what the Honors Program has to offer. A Baruch Scholar must be a role model to other students because of our great opportunity. This program promotes leadership and active involvement with the school’s culture and student life. Therefore, I must step up to every situation, whether it involves academics, social events, or helping other peers out.
