“The Community”

Hi there, I hope your enjoying your day. Welcome back to another post by your’s truly, Sanjit ‘I once gave a grizzly bear a hug’ Gill. Today we discuss the community. As Baruch Scholars, we’ve been given an opportunity that not many young lads and lasses our age get; a free college education. Whereas many of our peers might leave college with a ton of debt or have to work through college to pay for their own education, we don’t have to worry about that. In return, I feel that we are obligated to give back, not just to the school that has enabled us to have a great college education, but to the community as well. What good is the knowledge we gain in the classroom if it can’t be implemented for the benefit of the community? Within Baruch, we can get involved in programs such as Student Government, environmental clubs, Team Baruch, etc. to help facilitate stronger, better, and a more enriching student life for our peers. Within the community, we are obligated to help out in any way we can. So if that means I need to assist a young lad that is having trouble talking to the pretty little lady he likes, or pretty guy (I don’t judge), I should do my best to help the little tot out. Any way in which we are making a positive impact on a life within the community. That stretches from helping the elderly across the street to volunteering hours and hours towards cleaning the park. Any way in which anybody in the community, whether it’s a 6 year old kid or an entire building full of the elderly, is being positively influenced by your actions, is community service. Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed these last couple minutes and are inspired to tune in again when I write about Next Steps…. I guarantee it will be a treat. So long folks, stay safe.
