Last Friday was my first day back with the AmeriCorps in 2014. For AmeriCorps training, I relearned about the Myers-Briggs personality types. I am also working on a presentation about New Jersey - my home state, for one of the future Friday meetings. Today is my first day back in the library. Today, I lesson planned and created flyers. A person stopped by and told me their life story. I referred the person to 211, the health and human services hotline as well as helped the person take off his phone number off of Facebook. The librarian who taught him how to use Facebook wasn't there at the moment, so he came to me for help. I think that people really trust me with the life stories. I also wasn't busy during that time, so I was able to listen and help. He was grateful for my help and surprised at my openness. Although it can be burdensome to help during my busy time, I am glad that I was able to help me out during my free time.
