My role in the Baruch and broader community as a Baruch scholar in the honors program is to represent Baruch in the best way possible. It is too be a good student; to succeed in academics as well as Baruch’s community, including clubs and in school activities. It is to make my college experience the best it can be, both academically and socially. My role is to always put academics first, but to socialize and network as well. It is to keep up my GPA, but also have fun and enjoy my life, again, making my college experience the best it can possibly be. It is to make a good name for myself, as well as for Baruch itself. For me, my role is also to make my family, especially my mother, proud. My role should be to keep up Baruch’s reputation, and to reflect upon my experience at Baruch in the most positive way possible. It should be to appreciate Baruch, as the years progress and even after I have graduated. It should be to give back to Baruch in any way that I possible can, whether it’s volunteering around campus, or simply just saying good things about it. All of this is related to the culture of service the honors program promotes because it helps us to be more well rounded people. Almost everyone has had at least one paid job in their life, but not everyone has volunteered their time and efforts solely for the good feeling they get after they have helped people out.
