As a freshman, it can be difficult to learn about everything that your new college has to offer to you. However, since my first day at Baruch, my knowledge of the school has grown to the point that I have learned just how easily I can utilize everything that the school has to offer to me. Most especially, it was through all of the workshops from Freshman Orientation that I learned about everything around me. The center that I have taken advantage of the most so far has been the library. I have used a lot of my free time between classes to go to the library and use the studious environment that it offers in order to get a lot of my work done. In addition to the library, I have also spent my time with a club that has also helped me through my first semester: the Golden Key Buddies Program. Through the workshops they organized, I learned how to truly be successful and take advantage of everything around me during my time at Baruch. I plan on advancing myself into the club next semester and hopefully even gaining a leadership position in the upcoming years. All of the resources that I have been exposed to have helped me get through this fun, yet obstacle filled, first semester. The community service project that we were assigned first appeared to be any other task that I had to complete during my first year of college. However, as the Fall semester comes to an end, I no longer view it as just a project. Instead, it is the opportunity for me to get started on something that is much larger than myself: a life of service. I believe that by partaking in volunteering so soon, it will be a stepping stone toward my future endeavours in giving back to the community that has given me so much. Throughout my next four years at Baruch, I wish to accomplish all of the goals that I have set for myself. However, this is the simplest vision that I have of myself. I hope that with every passing day, I will learn to use all of the resources that I have around me in order to become my best possible self. I have always been one to strive for greatness and I believe that Baruch will guide me throughout this journey. Waking up everyday knowing that I will be immersing myself within the world’s greatest city is something that people from all around the world dream of and as a result, I plan to always make the most out of this amazing opportunity.
