Q3: Did your AmeriCorps experience have any influence on what you are doing today?
AmeriCorps helped dictate my decision to attain a master's for two reasons. (1) I found a list of schools that matched the AmeriCorps education award which helped deter the high cost of a degree. (2) I learned about new fields of study and and career paths while serving my AmeriCorps term. It was one of these new areas that made me realize I needed additional education and would then be able to work in a really cool field.
