From July 2015-June 2016, I decided to serve with City Year (AmeriCorps) in Jacksonville, Florida. During my year of service, I was personally assigned 12 at-risk students to work with during the class periods. By the end of the academic year, 9 out of my 12 students showed significant improvement in their course performance, attendance, and behavior. A combination of my persistent guidance and my organizational skills helped me to keep track of my students’ academic, social and personal development. The experience and social awareness I gained from serving with City Year expanded my passion for service, deepened my focus on health and education, and ignited in me a strong desire to help curb the causes and negative effects of communal poverty.
