I personally define service as voluntary actions that better the community. In fact, it might surprise you to learn that my biography might one day include the title of philanthropist in, hopefully, a very long list of occupations.
My current role in the Baruch Scholars program is that of a student and that of a public servant, an exaggeration of course but somewhat true. In all seriousness, I am currently an explorer, a pioneer. There are many volunteer opportunities on campus that I have been eagerly exploring. I am currently attending meetings with the American Cancer Society. I’ve been at several of their events, the most exciting one was the MSABC (Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.
On the scholar side, I am academically successful. I have been busy building a network of connections. As of now, I devote a large portion of my time to keep in contact with these people. Among them are my former co-workers at the Port Authority.
I would like to think of myself as a leader. I know almost for a fact that in all of the group projects that I have participated in, I have been the sole motivator and organizer. That being said, I feel that I am grooming myself to be a leader in the future. My friend has always told me that I need to work on interpersonal skills, not just in terms of communication but in direction. I feel that the Baruch scholar program will give me the opportunity to become a leader in the future.
Wilson,
I am glad that you have already gotten involved! That’s wonderful. I am also happy to hear that you see yourself as a leader, but not a perfect one. It’s good to be open to constructive criticism and to hone and build upon the skills you already have. Keep up the good work with your leadership skills, academics and volunteer opportunities.

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
