There’s a chance that my participation in the Community Service Project may have influenced how I view help. For instance, I used to avoid getting help unless it was utmost necessary as I felt idiotic whenever I asked for it. I think the project has helped with that slowly changing. I have been emailing my professors about assignments and attaining some of their advice and wisdom on a matter not because I need it but because now I view help as something we could all use to become our best selves.
I have not yet joined a club, but I did attempt to join the Encounters Magazine editorial team in some way. I was hoping to help out either the creative directors, the market managers, or the photography editors. Most spots were full and already hectic since when I showed interest they had already begun working on the semester’s edition. However, I did get published in the magazine so I guess that’s a step towards working with the editorial team. If that doesn’t work out I might just join USG in some way or Baruch’s marketing club.
I also now view community service as a more serious issue. I am happy to say that it is more evident now, to me at least, that few people – even one person – can make a difference in their community just by choosing to what they think is right. I hope this mentality carries on throughout the next three years, after which I have no idea what I will be doing. No clue at all. So maybe holding on to this philosophy may be what is going to drive me and take me to where I will be.
The end.
I am also a bit lost when I think about my future, but I believe with your mentality, you will be able to accomplish everything you have stated. It’s great to see that you’ve also noticed the impact one person can have and I hope you will continue to leave an impact on the many clubs and activities you plan to participate in in the next few years. Good luck!
Congratulations on being published in the newspaper! while it might not mean much now, everything starts in increments. Humans learn to crawl before they can run, and i’m sure your future is going to be full of amazing things.
I agree. I’m not sure what the future holds for me either, but having a positive outlook is a really great quality to have.
Im glad you’re beginning to feel good about volunteering and you enjoyed your experience. Im happy that you like being in the newspaper and I hope you continue to write for the newspaper.
