Welcome back to AmeriCorps Journals! In this entry I’m going to share with you the reason I committed to serving with AmeriCorps. To help do that, I’m going to start with a story about a woman that I know.
This woman was born in a small town and grew up in a large family. In elementary school she won spelling bees, and in high school she was named valedictorian. Above all, she dreamed of raising a family, and so when her children were born, she put her college education on hold. A few years down the road, after a divorce, she balanced work with parenthood.
