AmeriCorps NCCC has exposed me to a wide variety of locations, projects, personalities, and responsibilities. As a result of this service term, I will have gained a plethora of experience and wisdom. When asked to provide advice to incoming members, there are a few thoughts that come to mind. First of all, believe in yourself. Of all the advice in the world, this is the most sound advice not only for AmeriCorps NCCC but also life. Believe in yourself and what you are capable of. An AmeriCorps NCCC service term will test you and stretch your limits; in order to expand your capacity as a developing leader.
At the beginning of my service term, I served as a Corps Member. During the Corps Training Institute (CTI) I was given the opportunity to be promoted to a Support Team Leader. Now I am the proud Field Team Leader for the Moose 3 team. None of this would be possible if I did not believe in myself and my capacity for development. Not every day has been easy, but as a result of embracing this one concept I will complete this term stronger and more confident.
