The Community service project has reminded me to continue what I have been taught since I was young – to give back to the community around me. I saw this as an opportunity to do it with colleagues this time and finding a common interest between ourselves. I feel like it was a good opportunity to get used to a part of our LC that we will be apart of for our college life. It was a project that I was glad to work with in a group instead of individually choosing something because it widened my views on what I can help out on. I have the groups that I have been helping out for awhile but I thought it was important for me to find something new and I accomplished that during this semester.

The support center I have used is SACC for help in COM1010. I haven’t joined a club yet but I plan to within the upcoming semester. It gave decent feedback and helped me get good content for my speech. I think I may go back for future tutoring there if needed.

My understanding of community service has evolved to something that isn’t really a chore. It’s something that those that volunteer should be really passionate and glad they are helping and that it is important to know what they are helping out – what the cause is. There needs to be substance to it, or it won’t be fun for the volunteers, and those involved with the organization. We all are excited to be apart of the Pajama Project and know we will have fun with it.

In three years, I see myself as being apart of a company after working hard for an internship and graduating as a Baruch Scholar. I know how hard it’s going to be but I know that I could do it.
