Today is the day - my last day as an AmeriCorps volunteer. While my term did not last 46 weeks as I first talked about back in September, it was definitely an interesting ride.
Over the last nine months:
- Completed over 500 blood pressure screenings
- Had 422 client interactions for the dental clinic
- Held 14 mostly successful health education classes which reached 119 people
- Met 17 like minded adults who have a passion about giving back to their community
- Gained a better understanding about the health care system in the United States and the implications not having insurance has for millions of Americans
- Crossed several things off my 30 Before 30 List (15 down and 15 to go - two more to be crossed off this summer)
- Conquered 1 city with the most insane grid layout I have EVER encountered
Life here in Pittsburgh is slowly coming to an end as I do some last minute cramming for my entrance exams for school and prepare for my cross country bike ride. I also have a couple more touristy things to cross off my bucket list, after a quick trip to DC, so don't take me off your google reader just yet.
