As a Baruch scholar, my role is not limited as a learner who study and learn stuff from being a college student, but should be one that applies what we learn in school to serve the community by helping it get better and better. Serving our community is always a beautiful thing to do. But as we living a busy life, it now becomes a “hard” thing for people to actually get the chance to serve our community. You are busy working days and nights without getting enough sleep, you have a project to finish by the end of the weekend, or you think it’s not going to make it a big difference. All kinds of things are dragging you from doing your community service. In my opinion, serving our community is never a hard or tiring thing to do. It could be as simple as picking up a paper scrape while you working on the street. Any little thing counts!

“EXPLORE. ENGAGE. TRANSFORM.” These three words shown in the Baruch Honors website are the culture that Baruch Honors Program promotes. As a Baruch scholar, we explore our school and the community that we’re all in, actively engage in clubs and communities services and transform ourselves from a student that maintains high academic standards to be a part of the community. Fulfilling the Honor’s requirement of serving community services is not just a job that we have to finish but an opportunity for us to gain experience in the society, at the same time, help our community in whatever ways they need us. I’m very looking forward to participating in our community service. I think it’ll be a great experience for me!
