I am currently serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA in Warren county, technically I am a Volunteer. I'm looking at grad schools to apply to as well as the possibility of furthering my VISTA experience. I am certainly trying to keep all avenues open for the future but I do feel it will be extremely important to get a Graduate degree. The way the economy has been is dismall...

My sponsoring agency is called NORWESCAP.org, based out of Phillipsburgh it has various programs all over Northern NJ, aimed at helping those in need. I find it rewarding to help people especially when they don not know where to turn, because I have been there myself, thinking it would be a wise choice to move out before completing my bachelors degree, working only essentially covered rent, the trip to and from work and barely gave me enough food to eat.
