In a couple weeks I will
be ending my time with the AmeriCorps program and ending a chapter in my life I
thought I would not be able to survive. I entered into the AmeriCorps VISTA
program with many years of experience in the education field, because of that I
thought I would be able to glide problem free through my year of service. I
could not have been anymore wrong.
This past year of services has been one of
the toughest experiences of my professional as well as personal life. It pushed
me into a space within me that I never knew existed, and for that I am
eternally grateful to the experience and even more so to all the amazing people
that I met along the way. I am confident now in my abilities and am eager to
begin to create even more change within my community. I have begun looking into
starting up my own nonprofit organization, benefiting the artistic youth within
my community.
While I educate myself on the requirements needed in tackling
such a large task I plan on continuing my work with my housing site. I have
recently applied for a position that has opened at the school I am stationed at
and am hoping to hear back from them soon. I am eager to see what will come
next and am thankful to AmeriCorps for teacher me how to be a better version of
myself.
