Risks, Possibilities and Growth

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” This quote by Neale Donald Walsch has been my motto to live by over the past few years, and is something I feel adequately defines the experiences as an AmeriCorps member.

            My name is Laura Nutty and I am currently serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA member with Hands On Charlotte in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Last year, I served with AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) in the Pacific Region.  The year before that I served as an AmeriCorps State and National member in Rochester, New York.  My decision to serve in AmeriCorps was largely based on the fact that I did not know what I wanted to do after graduating college, and I was so unsure of myself and what career option I wanted to pursue.
