Another Set of Goodbye's

While Deming New Mexico is a place I never in a million years would have imagined I would one day end up, I’m grateful for the time I spent there.  It was a challenging three months, to say the least, but it taught me a lot, lessons about life, team members, the politics of our country, immigration laws and loopholes, and most importantly humanity.  Deming is one of the poorest cities in the country, but the amount of generosity, passion and love that came from the people of Deming was remarkable and something I won’t forget.  The team and I began this round with hesitation, not sure what path our project would take, where we would be living or how we would be received in the community, but over time those worries were answered and we managed to discovered the beauty lying under the dusty surface of Deming.

Rewards and Recognition

12/1/2018

Throughout all the training we endured, lectures on leadership, diversity, team management and professionalism, there was little conversation around reward.  Education award and other work related benefits, sure, but not the emotional reward we would all would receive throughout the round.  Having traveled, taught and volunteered before and knowing the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment after serving a community, that was a main factor in my applying to Americorps NCCC in the first place.  After weeks of training, meeting and getting to know corps members and then traveling 16+ hours to Texas, my thoughts of service and reward had fallen by the wayside.  I knew the reason I was there, the work I was supposed to be doing, but I couldn't imagine how it would be received by the community.  In short, it was amazing.

    A Year of Service

    My life, being anything but predictable, has taken another turn. Rather than moving to Jeju, South Korea - my original plan for Fall '18, I'm going to test drive Denver, CO and its surroundings, an area people just keep telling me "I'd love".
