Journal Entry #3
November 29, 2010 by sp113759
Continuing on from the previous journal entry (#2), besides just stating that community service is something worthwhile to do, it is better to actually participate in some form of service. To find an organization that coincides with my own beliefs was pretty easy due to the help of Professor Francoeur. He provided us with a website – idealist.org – that was very helpful during one of the Freshman Seminar class sessions.
Other than being involved in the Community Service Project, I am a member of the Eco Club here at Baruch. The two projects’ (community service for Freshman Seminar and Eco Club) aims blend together very well. For example, while the community service aims to help other human beings by providing them with excess medical supplies, Eco Club aims to improve and sustain the environment. Both projects complement each other because while the environment can survive without the help from human beings, human beings cannot survive without the help from the environment. So, it is very meaningful for me to give back to the environment and to others who are less fortunate than myself.
Besides these two service groups, I am also a contributing writer for The Ticker and soon hope to become more involved in the inner workings of running an issue.

Sharmin,
Wow. I never thought about it like that but you are right, we should give back to the environment. I didn’t even know that we have an eco club! Thank you for enlightening me.
I am glad that you have found helpful resources at Baruch. Continue to stay active. I am proud of you for your strength and ability to dive right in! I wasn’t involved in Baruch that much as a freshman. Congrats and keep up the good work!
