values

     My values are extremely important to me. My values are community, learning, optimism, career, and financial stability. I value these values because they help me stay motivated throughout my daily life. I live these values in different ways. Particularly, I completed a couple of years in AmeriCorps focusing on community service helping do outreach within low-income communities. Learning is important to me because it can help me to become more in life and also to help others learn as well. Optimism is extremely important to me because it helps me believe that days can get better during tougher times. I feel like my values are like an anchor during difficult times. 

      When I wasn't aware of my values I felt lost and alone. I felt like I was a disappointment and disconnected from community. I felt like when I was part of AmeriCorps I was aware of my values and I spent my time wisely. I also seen results from the effort I put in  to maintain my values.
