My role in the Baruch College as a Baruch Scholar is to get high grades so we’re in good standing with the GPA requirements, complete the 15 hours of community service each year, and to go to an arts/culture event each semester. For the broader community, my role is to help out with community service like before.
I think that my role should be something along the lines of a good role model to other honor students and non-honor students. I shouldn’t be doing anything that would look bad on the school’s part and the Honors Program’s part. As for the larger community, I should be going out and doing all sorts of good works. When I think of “honors kid out in the world,” I think of those genius kids in the news that discovered the cure to some disease in a third-world country or kids that found charity organizations.
This ties into the expectations for community service in the Program because the program wants us to become at least some derivative of the idols I mentioned before. The program wants to promote a culture of valuing community service and to teach kids how it is not simply a requirement they are enforcing but rather a beneficial essential of being in a community.
Dave, this is valid. I agree with you completely. Love the blunt and honest entry! You’ll be fine man!
Hey David! Great straightforward entry. Hopefully, we don’t have to cure diseases for our community service to be valid. We’re mostly business students after all.
Hey David! I appreciate a blunt response. Just remember you can be a good role model by being a good person. So you’ll be fine!
