Next steps…

By working on the community service project I began to start thinking not only about my immediate community but the Baruch community as a whole. I realized that my LC is really the community I am the closest to, right now. I began to become friends with people different than me and expand my comfort zone. By working on the community service project I started working in different aspects than I expected. I had to communicate with people from a different area and a place I wasn’t comfortable with. For my community service project I am doing Unity Games. Unity games is a group in Staten Island that helps develop unity in staten islands youth. I believe this is very important so that community’s that are relatively different can join as one.
I am from a close knit community myself and had to call on other people not just in my community to help me in my first semester. I attend the writing center to help me fix my English papers multiple times. I wanted to make sure I was conforming with the teachers requirements. I know that the writing center is of great help and I can go there in my next four years. Not only did I go to the writing center I met with multiple teachers to help me in my studies. I met with my English teacher to make sure I am getting everything down, and to ultimately succeed.
By working on my community service project and meeting with other people, I have been exposed to other people and different communities. I realized other people have the strengths to overcome by weaknesses and i should take advantage of it. I know that in the future when I need help I will have confidence to ask.
