Unicef is a club focused on the life and prosperity of children worldwide. They have an active roll in the global community, through the use of activating and fundraising, Unicef unite those around and collect what they can to help the less forturnate.
At first, this student life meeting was not the one that I was going for, I intended to hear about She’s the first. That clearly didn’t go as planned, after searching for another club that caught my eye, Unicef had their doors opened with welcoming arms. To my surprise, as they introduced themselves and the club intentions, I found myself wanting to know more, wanting to get deeper involved.
There’s so much more than just saying you want to help but actually stepping out of your comfort zone and pushing yourself to give back is powerful. It is easily visible that the members of Unicef love what they do. Throughout their busy Baruch college life and social life, they still manage to make room for something that does not only benefit themselves.
Clubs are not really my thing, I’m more of a come to school do my work then go home type of person. I don’t really push myself to get to know people or to be apart of a bigger community other than being a student. But now I feel driven to step out of my comfort zone and escape that mentality.
I plan on getting involved slowly, I don’t want to overwhelm myself and quickly jump into a club knowing I have so much going on. I want to attend more meetings, the first one was a brief introduction to what the club was but now I want to engage deeper. After the meeting was over they handed out a small piece of paper, basically like a check list on what to get done in order to be accepted as a future Unicef member. After getting that checklist done, ill be ready to become apart of the Unicef family.
