So we are officially done with AmeriCorps and have been now for two weeks. I am back in Quincy, which is definitely an adjustment. It is great to see everyone back at home. The last week of NCCC was very difficult with all of the goodbyes that needed to be said. This is probably why it has taken so long to write on this blog again! I was lucky to have had an unforgettable experience with many amazing people who I hope to keep in touch with a long time from now. It would be impossible to sum up the incredible time that I have had with this adventure in this little blog, but I hope that I was able to share at least a small bit will all of you. Nothing is perfect, including AmeriCorps NCCC. There were many times I questioned administrative decisions and other various things that came up this year. Sometimes there were just no answers I liked and became frustrated, but if anyone was to ever ask me if it is worth having a program like AmeriCorps I would say YES. The good this program does outweighs the areas where it needs improvement.
So, with the end of this fun adventure I'm looking to see what's next. who knows... maybe paying off some school debt? What a thrilling adventure that is... thanks for those of u that have been reading (and not been too critical of my lack of writing skills haha). Hope to see u all soon = ) after all, it is that holiday time of year now. woohoooo Below is the last pic we took as a team. It's at the awards dinner. We discovered this beautiful set up for a wedding so we married off Beth and Drew. haha
