I haven’t posted in a while..because so much is happening!

I’m currently serving as an AmeriCorps*VISTA. VISTA differs from other AmeriCorps programs because it was designed specifically to fight poverty. VISTAs perform indirect service and capacity building work at organizations who serve low-income people. I’m serving at FriendshipWorks, a nonprofit whose mission is to reduce social isolation, improve the quality of life, and preserve the dignity of elders and adults with disabilities in Boston and Brookline. I found out about thsi opportunity since I was a Medical Escort volunteer through FriendshipWorks. I am working on their marketing, and wear numerous other hats, and love every minute of it. I am learning a lot about elder issues, and look forward to work each day.

In other news, I am taking organic chemistry. I’m looking forward to December 15 when I will be finished.

It’s hard to believe, but there’s a chance this time next year I could be working towards my masters in nursing and on the road to becoming a nurse practitioner.
