Letting Everyone Know

The email I sent to all my friends and family as soon as I got the news of my acceptance!!!!

Hello Friends and Family,

            This is the email many of us have been waiting a very long time for, the email that confirms I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE AMERICORPS NCCC PROGRAM. I guess good things come to those who wait, because, after seven months of waiting, I received an email saying I had been accepted into the program. This email also told me that I would be expected to arrive in Denver Colorado on October 12^th, yup, that’s in just 16 days!

            For those of you who are not familiar with the Americorps program, here’s a little rundown. I will be serving in the Southwest Region which services CO, KS, MO, AR, OK, NM, AZ, and TX. Members serve in teams of eight to twelve and are assigned to projects throughout the region served by their campus (with the southwest campus being in Denver Colorado). We are trained in CPR, first aid, public safety, and other skills before beginning our first service project.

            My journey will be documented by the new blog I am creating called Building a Future. The title represents not only the fact that Americorps will be the stepping stone to my own great future, but also that my journey will involve the lives of many whom I hope to help secure a better future for themselves and their families. The blog can be found at this address: http://buildingafuture-americorps.blogspot.com/ .

            There are many people I would like to take a moment to thank because of the immense support, time, and even money they have given me. First I must thank my teachers Mrs. Denny and Mrs. Ghazarossian because without their letters of recommendation, this opportunity could never have even arisen. I also want to thank the Schwab family, the Townsley family, and the rest of the church community for their prayers, encouragement, and even networking skills. Finally I want to thank my family—grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles, parents, and even doggies—you keep the light inside me burning strong and proud. I love you all.

P.S. There is probably tons I forgot to tell you in this email, so just email me back if you have questions!
