As of now I don’t seem to have found my place in baruch. I am not sure what I want to do and what I want to be a part of. But based on my past I hope I will be able to make a decision for my future.
When I was In 12th grade I went to deliver food to people who needed it. This was one of the most gratifying and enjoyable parts of my year. As well I find it an obligation to give back to your community. In a community everyone must do their part to help and therefore I feel that doing this helped my community at large.
Here at Baurch I am hoping to find a similar type of group that I would be able to join. That is why I am thinking of becoming an active member at the Hillel. For me it is the best of both world. I will be able to help the community at Baurch, with people that I know and I will be able to do gratifying work.
But that is not all. In baruch I would like to try and create a school wide project that would be able to unify the entire school with one specific goal. Now this will be a very difficult task, but one that is important.
As an honors student I think I will have a head start on my two goals. We are supposed to be model students and I think that we as honors students can surely make a difference. So at first, I hope to become an active member in the Hillel and then I would like to help the school as a whole.
I agree with you. As an honor student we have an advantage over everyone else, and we should use that to our advantage. Your goals can definitely happen, you should try to join the student government or ask them for advice because they could probably help you accomplish your goal of unifying the school
Shaya, it’s great that you’re already thinking abiut getting involved on campus. Hillel is a great organization and I would also encourage you to give back to the community outside of Baruch.
Hi Shaya,
You do seem to have a goal and ambitions, and that’s good. I am struggling with the same problems. I’m not sure what I want to do or what I want to participate in. But it’s still fairly early, so I’m going to give myself some time to explore and not rush it. I’m sure it will work out for us.
I didn’t know what Hillel was before reading your blog but it sounds really interesting !
Uniting school under one common goal to improve our society is a wonderful idea…i’m sure you will have many supporters.
I hope that you carry out this enthusiasm for community service for our lc community service group. i’m looking forward to it~
