As I reflect on this past year as a VISTA, the only thing I think about is how fast the year has gone by. The troubling thing about VISTA is that it is only a year commitment, which gives you the feeling of being incomplete, or failing to complete your mission. Although I do have many tasks that I want the next VISTA to complete, I feel as though my full potential was just beginning in my position. [ 652 more words. ]

I was told this blog would be a chance for me to reflect on my VISTA experience. To those who have never been in VISTA, that might seem like a very reasonable expectation. For me, the task is almost incomprehensible. I have been reflecting and reflecting and reflecting since I got here. It turns out that the pool of people who participate in and lead service programs overlaps entirely with the pool of people who value ‘reflecting’. [ 455 more words. ]

It’s not so obvious a path that has brought me to where I am as the technology VISTA at the Bonner Center. Before my time started here in May 2015 I didn’t have any real experience with technology beyond typing on a keyboard and whatever random skills I could throw on a resume about using Microsoft Office. Despite my lack of skills I applied for the position because I had wanted to be in a university setting again. [ 1360 more words. ]
