Americorps

I began my job at Wellington Elementary as an Americorps mentor.  I'm still working at Price River Water Users, so I'm a little overwhelmed right now, but super excited to start working with the kids.  I'm going to be working with kids who are frequently absent and with kids that have behavior issues they may need to work through.  I'm also going to be working in the leveled library and doing attendance.  I attended the Americorps 20th Anniversary in Salt Lake this past weekend.  Rory and the kids came with me and stayed at the hotel while I went to the Capitol to listen to speakers.  They fed us yummy food and we were able to watch a live broadcast of President Clinton and President Obama about the Americorps program.  I met some amazing ladies that work in my area and we were able to tour the Capitol building.  It was breathtaking.  I was amazed by the architecture and attention to detail in everything.  It was a quick visit up north, but well worth it.  I am so excited to make a difference in the life of a child and I pray that I can be a positive influence in my own children's lives. 

So right now I feel like I'm at a life changing place in my life.  I've been reading a book about success and am obsessed with Maya Angelou and the impact she made on the world.  I feel myself shifting from who I used to be and I hope I'm turning into a greater version of myself.
