As a Baruch Scholar, I receive many benefits including free tuition. As a result, I feel obliged and I want to give back to my community. Being a Baruch scholar, I understand what it means to receive help and how important and influential it is. This is why I think community service is the best way to show my appreciation for the help that I am receiving
My group has chosen to volunteer at New York Cares. This is an organization that directly helps people in New York City. I have been a part of this city for the majority of my life and I know the struggles that many people have to go through. This is an organization that will directly allow me and my group members to contribute. I hope that these contributions will have a positive affect and I hope to help out as much as I can in the time that I spend volunteering. Being a volunteer, is a big responsibility and I want to handle this as best as I can. In addition, I really want to learn about myself and the cause that I will be contributing to. As a Baruch Scholar, I think this program is essential to understanding how our community will function if we were to help out others.
