While primarily focusing on achieving the grades I need this semester, I have missed out on participating in any clubs. However, I hope to join at least one next semester. By doing so, I hope to feel like I’m a significant part of the Baruch College community.

One of the resources that have been useful to me here is the faculty’s encouragement. This has motivated me during the stressful times I experience as a college student.

I have used to the library as a support center more than once. I like to go there and just do homework or study. Sometimes I get more work done there than when I’m at home by my desk.

I have decided to look at the future from a different perspective. Being asked the question where do you see yourself in the next three years? An expected answer would be majoring in ­­­______ and getting an internship at ______ or continuing at being successful at school. For me, I want to feel confidently comfortable with who I am, I want to interact with others in a way that will give me a significant place or role, I want to achieve my goals with a sense a fulfillment. I think a combination of these three things will give me a sense of inner-peace. This isn’t a process of self-discovery because I pretty much know who I am.  It’s taking initiatives and making decisions while embracing this identity.

The Community Service Project will have a significant role in this process. I am looking forward to giving myself to others. Service has made me feel like I am part of a community. I think it is a wake up call, it tells me that I am here and I have value because I am able to help others.
