Jonathan Larson once asked: "How do you measure a year?" I measured the past nine months in sustainability, civic engagement, new friendships, anti-poverty, living in poverty, mentorship, Indian food, Service Saturdays, new family, non-profits, exploring, mentoring and tutoring, goodbyes, leadership, diversity, international student affairs, marathon training, personal statements, alumni living, healthy eating, gardens, solo trips, free concerts, service learning, books, laughter, frustration and growth. Oh, and lots of love. August 7, 2014 - August 8, 2015 #iamVISTA #iamamericorps @nationalservice
