My Community Service Project mostly encouraged me to draw upon the expertise of the librarians. In order to find an organization I’d enjoy volunteering with, research was required. The library staff eagerly helped us to learn a few resources regarding searching for non profit organizations. I’ve mostly only utilized the library as a resource but I have learned a lot about other resources. Though I haven’t used them yet, I know that if I ever need anything, I know where to find those resources. We learned a lot in FRO about where to find these places and what they do for us. When the time comes, I know there are people to help me. I’m very involved in the BlueNotes A Capella group. We’ve had many performances so far and have even more coming up. It’s nice to have that community. In the future, I also want to get more involved with BSU (Black Student Union). I’m very lightly involved with USG, but my main focus has been USG. Using some of the resources presented to me in FRO will definitely help me with future success in my courses at Baruch. From the writing center to the career center, I know that I can find what I’m looking for when I’m ready. If I don’t understand something, I know there are plenty of tutoring opportunities available to me. My understanding of community service hasn’t really evolved much. Community service has always been something that I took part in, and not just for the hours. I’ve tutored, made meals for the homeless, worked with pets, helped with random event set ups, etc. Community service is just something that feels natural. I’m very happy that it’s a requirement because it keeps me on track. I now realize that this is a push to do what I should be doing anyway. Without his requirement, I may not have made community service high on my list of priorities in college, but I’m genuinely glad it’s become part of my routine. In 3 years, I see myself as a better scheduler. I’m disappointed that this year I didn’t truly get my scheduling together, but I’ve taken some baby steps. In 3 years, I’d like to be amazing at task management. I also see myself having another country notched off on my list of places traveled following a study abroad. In regards to my community service, I see myself as a coach of one of my own AmericaSCORES teams. I spoke to the program director and told him this was one of my intentions and he was all for it! Overall, I see myself handling multiple opportunities while being better at handling all of them due to my scheduling prowess. I’m excited to see where I end up in a few years time!
