Everyone has a role, a responsibility, and a place in their community. A community is not confined to where you live and to the people you’ve known your whole life. You can be part of many communities and throughout life there will be groups of people that you will form a community with. I know for myself, I have my Jewish community at home, the Baruch community, my class community, and many more. Each one of them serves a different purpose in my life.
As Baruch Scholars, I think it is our goal, collectively, to exemplify what it means to be a scholar. This means more than the 4.0 GPA, even though I would love to have one too! It means striving to do the best and be the best. It means going beyond the confines of the Baruch College walls and serving the outside communities. We must show everyone that we are leaders, and that we want to change things for the better. I think that our role as Baruch Scholars is acting as an example. We must always behave as if someone was watching us, and we must always act in a moral, ethical manner.
I think that the community service project directly relates to this role. I was speaking to a few friends, who are not in the honors program, to find out that they don’t have the community service project. I must admit I was pretty jealous 
But, I understood that it was reserved for kids like us who are leaders in the Baruch community and the examples that must serve for all other students!
