Student life at Baruch is so diverse and there is so much to do! Last week on Thursday, I went to UNICEF’s GIM and attended a Heritage Month event. I didn’t know what UNICEF did exactly, but I have heard of them before. What got me to come to the first general interest meeting was the free food! Even though the free pizza wasn’t that great, I would love to come back and join UNICEF.

UNICEF is a student club that helps children who are in need and fight for their rights from all across the world. This club really got me to open my eyes to all the things I take for granted. There are thousands of children from across the world that are in need of help every day; whether it be from natural disasters, poverty, abuse, the list can go on and on. UNICEF tries their best to fundraise through activities for these kids so they can live kids and be able to survive. I am looking forward to what this club has to offer. I want to continue to participate in this club. I hope that through fundraising, these kids will be able to live a better life and be able to grow up and help others who are in need.

After UNICEF was over, I went back to the second floor because I saw a huge crowd gathered around by the escalators. Looking over, I saw a group of students playing a Spanish dancing game. It was so lively and there were so many students of different culture participating in a Latin Heritage Month event. The event was held by multiple Spanish clubs. There was a photo booth that printed out photos!! That was really cool because it was all free and they had really cute props.
