Baruch scholars are leaders in the community. I was awarded with free tuition and many other perks. In return, I know that I should invest my extra time in helping develop the school and my other peers. Not everyone else in the world has the opportunity that I have, and I know that I should be using this to my advantage to not only help myself, but to help others, as well.
Baruch is the hub of opportunity. There are many clubs, organizations, and various other outlets that I can join that would help develop the school and enrich the students within it. As a Baruch Scholar, I should grab the bull by the horns and tackle these extracurriculars. Even though people go to college for an education, college is much more than that. By diving into this community, I set an example to other students to get involved, enrich their experience, and help each other.
Baruch Scholars are required to volunteer in community service. I am one of the lucky ones, who is able to attend college for free, so I should be using my gift and spreading it to others, but not just to the other students at Baruch, but to the people who are within the society that Baruch is surrounded by. My goal is to become a school leader, but I know that it should not stop there. The Honors Program requires a minimum number of hours of service this year. The program is our starting point to help us dive into the community, but the point is to exceed expectations and to do extra work to help others, voluntarily.
