School and More School

Hey everyone!!!!

So as you know I am a full time master's student at SUNY Brockport, studying Public Administration and Nonprofit Management. While I would love to tell you how much fun it is, which there is plenty of fun stuff. It is a lot of work, more then I thought when signing up. However I am finally getting use to it and starting to get into the swing of it.

I am very sad to report I was not able to go on my hike due to weather :( But I was able to work on a paper that was due, so that is always good. I also starting at my AmeriCorps placement!!!

I signed my new contract and started officially on October 1st. I will be completing 900 hours over the course of the next year. For my service I will receive a stipend and an educational award at the end of my term which will go towards my student loan.

During my year I will be able to take part and help in a number of programs, including Reality Check, Youth Court, and Legal Advocacy for youth program. I will also be working on creating and helping to put together community service projects for other AmeriCorps members. I will also be driving into grant writing and sending out a month newsletter.

I am looking forward to the new challenges and making myself grow and stretch more through this.

I have found that AmeriCorps is rewarding way to spend my time and also feel like I have made some impact on the community I live in. I have also learned more about the work of government in my community and how important it is to get youth involved at a young age. I'm work with AmeriCorps had a huge influence in my platform issue for pageants and also focusing on what I really want to be able to do in my life. It has inspired and pushed me to greater.
