Today marks the last day of my VISTA journey. It has been quite the journey.
What started of as a smooth transition between being a summer intern and starting my VISTA role, morphed into realizing that I didn't have a team of three other people my age to run all sorts of programming; leaving me to wade through the forest of experience alone. Not that I was totally alone of course, there were people to help me along the way. To all those people, I say "Thank you." I could not have done it without you. You have helped me along the way, and for that, I am grateful.
The journey wasn't always easy...after all, what journey is? It had its ups and downs. There were successes and there were failures. It does not do well to dwell on the failures, though. What is important is to focus on what I did well and how I can use those positive experiences in my future career.
My biggest takeaway from this last year has probably been "Even if you find it difficult, find a way to do it anyway." I think that is going to be the tagline of my life. When I write a book of memoirs that will be the subtitle. Not as catchy as it could be, but that's why its the subtitle and not the title.
Its hard to believe that I've just summed up an entire year of working in just a few short paragraphs.
Today marks the last day of my first post college work experience. I have learned so much from this office and this program. It will stay with me forever.
I will of course be keeping up with this blog and writing about my post VISTA experiences.
Until Then!
