Group 2
I have never had much problem admitting that I need help, or seeking out assistance. However, I don’t always take full advantage of the resources around me. I tend to tell myself that I will utilize certain resources for things I should be doing, but I often fail to follow through because of time issues or laziness. I seem to be great at setting goals for myself and planning big things, but usually I allow time to pass without actually doing the things I planned in the timeline I initially set. Doing this community service project as a group forced me to learn the importance of following through. Working with other people makes me make sure I stay on track, and not procrastinate too much. So why do I only follow through when other people are involved? I owe it to myself to act on my plans, and get things done when I plan to get things done. Actions speak louder than words, so its time that I act and use the helpful resources around me and use the help I need to help me succeed.
While I have joined a club this semester, I have been planning to join another club next semester and maybe become a committee member. Now I have to actually do that. And I can use that sense of commitment and consistency in my classes to make sure I am doing as much as I can.
This project has also furthered my understanding of the different spheres of people and things who need help. It’s not only kids or animals, but it is multiple categories of people, animals and things that could use extra help from people who can provide it.
In the next three years I don’t see any drastic change in my life. I hope to learn and grow, but I also see consistency. I see myself still in school, still a Baruch scholar, and still on the right path for success. I also hope to be working and saving for my future. I also hope to be a more active member of my communities in general, participating and giving back what I can.
