Our group used Baruch library website to look for volunteer opportunities and found New York Cares.This is an organization that allows us to help NYC parks, schools and community. My participation in Community Service Project encouraged me to look more into broader sense of community. I have volunteered for Minkwon Center for Community Action, which is a community center that meets the concerns and needs of the Korean American Community through several program areas such as youth, community advocacy, and social services. This organization works mostly for Korean community; however, New York Cares works for whole New York City community. Therefore I believe that this organization would make me more integrated into this society and connected to more people. Preparation for presentation also allows me to learn to work as a group and to make a good presentation.
I haven’t joined any of Baruch student clubs, but I want to join Women in Business, AISEC and some music clubs. I want to join AISEC because I believe it would give me opportunities to know more about studying abroad and about the career in International Business. I also believe this would contribute international experiences by providing internships in another country. As of now, I want to major in business but I’ve always had a passion in music. Whenever I get stressed out, and get emotionally weak, I sing or listen to music. Sometimes, I listen to music and cry at the same to release the stress, and to forget the sad memories that I had. So I want to join a club where people can share their tastes in music, and play instruments and sing together. For next three years, I want to make my life productive; I will probably graduate from Baruch, and go to graduated school or have a job. However, at the same time, I also want to do all the craziest things that only young people can do in their life. I will be still young after three years and when I get old, I do not regret about things that I cannot do I was young. You only live once. YOLO!
As much as I hate to admit it, Kelly, you’re right. YOLO! Academics is important but it’s also important for you to make the most of your college experience. Your college experience is what you make it and from the sound of it, you plan to make yours absolutely amazing! Definitely get involved. You’ll meet some great people and have experiences that will change your life! About the crazy things: if you ever want to go bungee jumping, let me know; I’ll totally go with you!
After typing my blog up, I noticed many similarities. Great writing and I admire that you’re looking to get directly involved with your major inside the groups of Baruch. As much as business may get you by, try finding somebody who shares this interest of music with you and have fun with it! Don’t be afraid to follow your passion, even if on the side. Don’t make that you’re regret; don’t make anything a regret.
