The study tips from SACC is a list of things students should do while taking a test. After reading the list I found two tips that work best for me; budget your time and allow time at the end to check carelessness. One of my biggest problems while taking an exam is budgeting my time on each question. This is a problem because when i spend to much time working on a single question it hurts my grade because i will have less time to spend on other questions and little or no time to spend checking my answers after the exam. If i pace myself properly on each question and skip the ones that i believe may take me more time it will help my overall grade because i will have more time to answer other questions and i will have time to go back and answer the questions i skipped.

I also found the study tip of allowing time at the end to check careless to be important because often time during math exams i make careless mistakes such as forgetting to change a negative sign into a positive one which can ruin my entire answer, if i use the tip and go back and check my answers it is possible that i can find my mistakes and correct them.Both these study tips are important to me because I practice them every time I take a test and I will continue to practice them throughout the rest of college so that I can achieve high scores on my exams.

The study tips from the SACC were very informative. One tip that really pertains to me would have to be “eliminate all distracters.” For me it’s a little bit difficult to take an exam with people around me in the quiet because I get really nervous. If I was to take a test in my room, without cheating of course, I would easily score in the high 90’s on every test. But when I enter the classroom full of students, the pressure drops down on me immediately. I constantly contradict myself on questions, which is another SACC tip: “never be afraid to use common sense in determining your answer.” Sometimes the answer just seems so obvious, so I believe it has to be incorrect. But of course, that answer is always right. I have to learn how to go with my gut sometimes when it comes to test taking and not contradict myself constantly.

The Academic Success Tips are all useful tips that can help me achieve greatness at Baruch College. Both step 1: setting goals, and step 2: time management, are very helpful. Setting goals is beyond important in college. This helps you understand what you are trying to accomplish in a more organized manner. Whether it be a small goal like finishing my English paper on Friday night or a bigger goal like attaining a 90+ average in my math class, goals are goals, and they are only going to help me accomplish everything I want to accomplish in college. Time management is also extremely important. Study time, class time, project time, test time, there is so much going on in college, not to mention everyday life. With all of these activities it’s critical that I take the time to do what I have to do. I must prioritize and make a schedule of everything that needs to be done starting with the most important first. These tips are a great way to help me throughout my college years in attaining success.

1. I think act of helping people and to be glad based on to do community service are the value and importance of engaging in it. Maybe people help others because they want something from them, like glad, happyness, or smile. 2. I think for the leadership, it is important to doing community service projects with group. And relationship will coming up inevitably, if there is leadership there is relationship for everyone, who are doing this projects. 3. I think people should need wome benefit with doing something. So, I think some small thing to give them, who are volunteering, and stimulate to doing those things. Small thing is should not use a lot of money, we can give them picture, origami, flower, or etc. Maybe it is little different with “volunteerism” but I think it can boost wolunteerism and civic participation on campus.

Community service is important in every community.  Community service helps build the foundation for a strong community.  Community service brings people together.  It helps make the community a better place.  But most importantly of all, is shows that you care about your community and others.

Leadership is very important when it comes to community service.  Without leadership, it is hard to get people together to engage in community service.  And without leadership, you would not be able to organize large projects that really affect the community.

In my opinion, the best way to boost volunteerism and civic participation is to inform people that there are volunteering opportunities.  The biggest reason people do not participate in community service is because that do not know about them.  By increasing awareness, you can greatly increase the number of community service participants.

The value and importance of engaging in community service is a something we do for ourselves to make ourselves better people. It is a way to step away from your life and help other and see how truly blessed you are. There are so many people in this world that need our help and if everyone just did a little we can make the world a better place.

I think that community service is a very person thing to do and you do not necessarily need a leader to help you. obviously you need someone to plan and organize a fund raiser or event. but you should be doing community service for yourself and not because you are following someone.

We can boost volunteerism and civic participation on the Baruch campus by all doing our share. We can raise money for important charities, and show support for those who need. Personally I think the best time of community service you can do is to spend time one on one with someone in need.

I believe one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had was when I volunteered in Ronald McDonald’s House of Charities. Baking, cooking, playing games with the children and seeing the big smile on their faces, made the experience unforgettable. From this and other experiences, I realized that helping others, in any way, big or small, is something that I really enjoy. It’s something that can really make you feel good and proud about yourself. We’re never asked to do much for others. It’s something that should not be asked. We should want to do it. In this country, there are so many people that need a helping hand. As residents and citizens of this country, we’re not asked to do much, for the country in general, other than pay taxes and vote. So, volunteering and helping citizens that are less fortunate than us shouldn’t seem like too much. We should be thankful for what we do have but also remember those out there who don’t have that. Something we ask for more things and want more, not because we need it, but  just because we ant it. We should remember that we at least have a home, food, clothing; others don’t even have that.

Community service is an important part of helping others. We may think that all we can do is give money, but that’s not true. There are other things people appreciate more than just money. For example, giving up some of your free time to spend with children in the hospital, cooking and serving at soup kitchens, waking up early and walking in a cancer walk, baking and selling to fund raise fora good cause. These are things that people will sometimes be more thankful than money because it shows that you went out of your way to help out. We all can give money, whether we care about the cause or not, whether we give thousands or just a few dollars. However, not many gives up their time and effort to be there showing how important and how much you care for something. Knowing we helped out and did the right thing is a satisfying feeling we should all want to feel.

The relationship between leadership and community service projects is very simple. A leader leads a group to help others [and themselves] reach a common goal. A community service project is a goal that a group of people are a part of to help others. Every community service project has a leader. By going out of your way and volunteering in a project, you become a leader. Although you may not be leading the project, you become a leader to your friends and classmates who are not part of the project yet. If they see your interest in volunteering, you may encourage them to join the cause and help out too making you a leader. You can make the change with in your group of friends. You can be an inspiration to them while helping the less fortunate as well.

To promote volunteer work at Baruch, we should have more volunteer events in the college. However, we have to keep in mind that it may be difficult for some to attend since they may be working or have a class. Events should be created when we know a majority can be part of it. You can also make it mandatory like in class like Freshman Seminar. Another way to boost volunteerism is by giving credit to the volunteers. As volunteers, we should not want to help out to get something in return, but sometimes it does feel nice to feel appreciated and recognized for what you did. We should also do more things that students find interesting or something in which they can get something out of it too. For example, having school dances, carnivals, raffles, bake sales or trips. These all are great fundraisers, but students may also find them fun to be a part of.

I am me. I am one of laziest procrastinators who would do what is necessary when it’s necessary, maybe. My top three concerns about year are meeting new people, getting used to a college environment, and passing my classes. To be new to a school, especially college, it would be difficult to get in touch with new people. But with help, one can meet anyone who shares similar interests because it’s such a big and diverse campus, which is also another concern. Since it’s such a big school, not everything will be like high school, where you share the same schedules with your friends. In college, probably everyone has a different schedule. And lastly, passing my classes. I do no know the difficulty of classes, but i should expect it to be at a the “college level” all my teachers told me about. This college experience would be different from high school because not everything is handed to you. You have to be the one who has to do what you want to do. I expect little to no help, but I did receive some, especially from my teachers and some classmates. I am hoping that this first year in college would make me more responsible and help me become less “procrastinate” because I know that everything will be difficult. I will try my best to do what’s necessary to make my freshman year resourceful, maybe.

I believe the value and importance of engaging in community service is how people get together to work towards a similar goal together. Not only will it bring about change,but it would also bring a community together, no matter how diverse it may be. If they share a similar goal, these diverse communities would come together to work towards this same goal, making it much easier to achieve it.

For something to work, strong leadership is required. Without a form of leadership, the project that everyone would be working towards would be disorganized and may crumble. A plan should be set that everyone could easily follow would make their projects flow more easier.

We can boost volunteerism and civic participation on campus by showing them the values and importance of engaging in service community. They would be the ones to help bring about the change they want. They may also get along and meet new people from various groups whom they may share similar interests with. If they want change, they have to be the ones to do it.

Community service is an action that is invaluable, when people engage in community service they are doing a selfless act which can sometimes never be repaid. According to an article written on TIME.com the reason why people are volunteering now more than ever is because many believe that the government and public sphere are broken and therefore find it to be within their own duty to do something. Public volunteering is very important in this nation, as a result of public volunteering people can live easier lives because they are gaining outside help from others. Community service is also good in raising nationalism within nation, people will feel a stronger sense of unity and the moral of the nation will increase as well.  Community service is something that everyone can gain from including the people who are engaging in it. Although community service may take up time in one’s day it can benefit that person because when a person engages in community service they are increasing their notoriety as  a good person. A person who contributes in community service can also develop relationships with other who are engaging in community service, whether it’s people who are receiving the support or other who are contributing aid and those connections can open a lot of doors in one’s future.

I believe that leadership isn’t very important in community service but rather organization and unity is. In order for people to do a good job in community service they need to be organized and united under a common or similar goal. I don’t believe leadership is important because community service is something that should be done out of the kindness of one’s heart so that they do a better job, if someone else is instructing others on how to do help others than those who are following will not do as good a job because the aid they are providing is ingenuine.

A way in which volunteerism and civic participation can be boosted on campus is by making it a requirement in order to graduate. Another way in which civic participation can be boosted on campus is by making it more well known to the students, many students actually want to engage in community service but they don’t know how or what to do.
