By working on the community service project I began to start thinking not only about my immediate community but the Baruch community as a whole. I realized that my LC is really the community I am the closest to, right now. I began to become friends with people different than me and expand my comfort zone. By working on the community service project I started working in different aspects than I expected. I had to communicate with people from a different area and a place I wasn’t comfortable with. For my community service project I am doing Unity Games. Unity games is a group in Staten Island that helps develop unity in staten islands youth. I believe this is very important so that community’s that are relatively different can join as one.
I am from a close knit community myself and had to call on other people not just in my community to help me in my first semester. I attend the writing center to help me fix my English papers multiple times. I wanted to make sure I was conforming with the teachers requirements. I know that the writing center is of great help and I can go there in my next four years. Not only did I go to the writing center I met with multiple teachers to help me in my studies. I met with my English teacher to make sure I am getting everything down, and to ultimately succeed.
By working on my community service project and meeting with other people, I have been exposed to other people and different communities. I realized other people have the strengths to overcome by weaknesses and i should take advantage of it. I know that in the future when I need help I will have confidence to ask.

Joe,
I agree with you about serving not only our community at home, but rather the communities we are exposed to every day in school. I think being placed in a learning community gave us the opportunity to connect to people from different races and religions. I think that we have established friends that will remain with us into the future.
Freshman seminar is the first community you will have at Baruch and it’s the only community that’s created for you. I’m sure that you will continue to push past your comfort zone and meet new people with varied experiences. You will no longer be in freshman seminar next semester, but feel free to ask me any questions you may have in the future. Good luck, Joe!
