Making Strides against Breast Cancer Walk

1. My community service work helped he community by supporting the walkers and directing the walkers.

2. My initial reactions were that it was very early in the morning and that it was going to be hard to find the meet up place.

3.It makes me feel good about myself, knowing that I helped.

4. I learned that I can help for events like these and that the people around me was supportive for the event.  I also learned a little more about Breast Cancer and how survivor survived.

5. I enjoyed high-fiving and cheering the walkers for support.  I learned that a small gesture of support means a lot to the walkers.

6. Engaging in this project relates to my education and larger issues in society because I learned and became more aware about Breast Cancer.

7. The community service experience relates to the “Leadership and Service” session because I was leading and directing the walkers to the correct path and keeping the event safe for daily pedestrians and the walkers at Central Park.

8. My community service experience changed my way of thinking, my attitudes and actions towards others, myself, and the community because it taught me not to waste time.  I could’ve slept in if I didn’t know about the event.  Volunteering was a better way to spend my morning.

9. My community service experience impacted me personally because it helped me learn how I can help others in my community by doing something small.

10. I was satisfied with my experience overall because I made new friends, got to know my classmates better and was able to help out in the event.

11. I do see myself staying involved in the community during my college and adult years because it makes me feel good about myself when I volunteer. It makes more sense to help out the community rather than waste my time watching television or shopping.

12. Making Strides against Breast Cancer Walk was a supportive, loud and enthusiastic walk for those who were impacted by Breast Cancer.

I am Chinese. I am a friend, a student, a counselor, a granddaughter, a niece, a cousin, a daughter, and a sister.  I grew up in the Lower East Side.  My family is important to me.  I have an older brother and a younger sister. I’m stuck as the middle child. I never get the privileges an older sibling would get.  I never get the privileges a younger sibling would get either.  But, it makes me more independent.

Hi, my name is Annie Chen.  I was born and raised in Manhattan.  I grew up in the Lower East Side and went to Brooklyn Technical High School. My top three concerns about my freshman year in Baruch are being organized, the workload, and finding an internship.  The workload is definitely different in college than in high school.  It requires me to be more independent and organized.  Although it’s only a three day class schedule, I’m still trying to adjust to it.  I hope the future will be fun and interesting.
