Participation in the Community Service Project made me realize how important it is to have someone there to help you. My group had a misunderstanding and had to change our organization last minute. While we were disappointed, Pamela was ready to help us with whatever we needed to find a new organization to work with. This was very reassuring because it is comfortable to know that our peers are here to help us. Throughout the semester, whenever I came across a struggle or a problem, I went to my peers (friends!). Ultimately people need people. To know that there is someone that can help me with math homework, understand why I’m having a bad day, or even listen to me ramble on about how much working in retail sucks, is all very reassuring. Working with a team on the Community Service Project was great practice for my other classes. While there were some disagreements and slow-downs, I realized that in order to be successful, you have to be open to getting help from resources. In participating in the project, I realized that community work takes more team work than I thought it did! To be able to have fun doing a project like this, there has to be a sense of cooperation and equal involvement. By getting to know my group, I am looking forward to completing the service hours! I think we will have fun helping others.

Oh man. How are we gonna talk about the next 3 years when I’m still worrying about all my finals for this semester?! While I spent this semester adapting to college life, I look forward to doing more in the future. This involves joining a club (already planning to join the music business club next semester!) and just keep working hard (while simultaneously not overwhelming myself…how am I going to do that?). In the next 3 years I need to stay on top of being organized and balanced. I especially can’t wait for the internships! But before I do that, I have to survive calculus next semester….

Can’t wait to see what the next 3 years have in store for me and all the new friends I made!
