I have come to realize that many people underestimate what Baruch has to offer coming into college but I learned that although Baruch might be a commuter school, it still has a lot of resources and opportunities at hand for students. For example, I have frequently made use of the Writing Center to receive help with my English papers and assignments. Being that the people that are looking over my work are actually certified English professors, I am glad that I am accessible to the expertise of faculty and staff and can make use of them. In terms of my academics in general, I also have Mr. Medina, the Baruch Scholars advisor, to turn to for direction and guidance when it comes to the Honors Program. Since Baruch Scholars have different requirements to meet compared to other students here at Baruch, Mr. Medina provides the help that we need to meet those standards.
With regard to the Community Service Project, my group members and I have done extensive research on our non-profit organization and we’re really excited to take part in the first chance of volunteer service that we get at the Clinton Foundation. Volunteering for any organization, and not just this one in particular, would help us to expose ourselves to real life problems, which will allow us to broaden our perspectives in general.
I have committed myself to a club from the very beginning of this semester because I knew that I wanted to get involved in some way or another. Although this club is taking up a big chunk of my time as of now, I hope to manage my time more appropriately and be able to allocate my use of time wisely so that I can involve myself in a lot more clubs next semester. Some of the clubs that I find myself drawn to are the Accounting Society Club, USG, and Women for Empowerment. But first, I want to set a stable foundation in terms of academics and then join other clubs when I see fit in the future.
