How strange it will be for me to not be an AmeriCorps VISTA anymore.
It has truly been such a substantial part of my life for nearly two years now that I am confident the transition will be palpable. Wherever I go from here, literally and figuratively, the impact that this extraordinary organization has had on me will not easily fade.
Numerous lessons come to mind, when reviewing all the vast experiences I have been so privileged to be a part of, and take with me for the rest of my life. My hope is to pass these on in every instance I have the opportunity. In this way, my time as a VISTA will live on and the legacy of eliminating poverty will become more of a reality.
Between. This adjective is where and how I feel. Although this balancing act has always been present in my position, it has lately been more pronounced. I feel like even though recommendation letters have been very forthcoming, actual job opportunities have not been so quick to materialize. Please let me be able to continue this service in a different capacity, BUT be able to take care of myself and those I love at the same time. Is this to much to ask?
