Currently, I am not as active in the Baruch community as I would like to be. As of now, I am just a regular student that commutes to and from Baruch College. Although I have attended a few community service events here and there, I would definitely like to be more active and help out more. Back in High School, I attended one or two events throughout the four years. However, I plan on attending a lot more events throughout my college years. Eventually, I would like to be involved with the community and be a part of multiple different clubs such as VSA or UCLA or MOB. As a Baruch Scholar in the Honors Program, we are expected to complete a certain amount of hours of community service each year. I believe that this is extremely important. Giving back to the community, especially one that you were brought up in, is a way of giving back to the place you call home. It is a way of saying thanks to the community that shaped who you are now and led you to where you are now. The Honors Program promotes a strong emphasis on community service. I believe this helps push Scholars to do what is right; giving back to the community and helping the less fortunate. Furthermore, we receive scholarships that help pay for our tuition. I believe this is another motivating factor to push us to do more community service. Since we do not have to work as much to pay for our tuition, we should definitely invest more time volunteering at different places or attending more community service events.
