Remember it's NOT the challenges that define you, but how you respond to them. It is your resilience and commitment to āGET THINGS DONEā
In the AmeriCorps Pledge we agreed āTO MAKE OUR PEOPLE SAFER, SMARTER AND HEALTHIERā
We pledged that if āFACED WITH APATHYā we would take actions.
We committed to persevere if faced with adversity.
We pledged to ācarry this commitment with us during a service year and beyond.
Because why?..........We are AmeriCorps members and WE GET THINGS DONE!
šLet go of doubtā¦.let go of imposter syndromeā¦..let go of unworthinessā¦.and embrace courage, curiosity and sprinkle in a little leap of faith.āØ
Let the energy of these few days work through you. š«
Let your VISTA year teach youā¦..mold you into the person you have the capacity to BECOME
Be curious, be open, be authentic.........find something in yourself that you didnāt know existed
Be Brave because YOU ARE the change the world needsā¦..you are an innovator and an AmeriCorps VISTA member. š¤š¤š¤
