Serving my Community

When you first hear about the requirements for the Baruch Scholar Honors Program it seems like a lot. However, once you take a step back you realize that it’s really what we should be doing anyways. I think that everyone, not just Baruch Scholars, should be helping out and doing community service and not just so it looks good on paper. I think its everyone’s civil duty to give back and help make the community better. Going off this idea, joining clubs helps make this possible. A lot of clubs get you involved and helping the community in and around Baruch. We were picked to be in Baruch Scholars because we are the best and brightest of Baruch minus the MacBooks. This means that we are supposed to be the role models to everyone and lead the way. We have these requirements but realistically they should be done without asking. I also think that we should help out our friends when they need it whether it be tutoring them or lending a textbook or PDF. Of course, our first job without having to be said is be outstanding students and just try and settle in because it is a big school and an enormous city. Once we are settled in we can then help others do the same because I believe we were put in this program to lead others and be outstanding role models.
