The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse

Holiday+ children + ability to pinch people at will+ pre-existing lack of enthusiasm for learning = chaos in the classroom.

Chaos in the classroom = huge headache for the herder of those children.

By Transitive theorum: Holiday = huge headache for the herder of children

Who thought that St. Patrick's day could bring anything but happy times?

The Rundown

I'm Jesse Bright-- graduate of DePauw University and former member of AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC). I served in the Pacific Region with its headquarters in Sacramento California.

If you're new to the concept of the NCCC, here's the official take on it: "For 10 months members serve on teams to meet urgent community needs through projects that improve the environment, enhance education, increase public safety, adresss unmet human needs, and provide rapid and continuing disaster relief."

Now, I've begun serving in AmeriCorps St. Louis- Emergency Response Team. We are a group of about thirty 21-28 year-old members who respond to disasters throughout the US (wildfires, windstorms, floods, ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.) as well as raise funds and stay fit through conservation work (trail building, invasive species removal, creation of fire-line).

This purpose of blog has been to share my experiences throughout the my 11 month stint with those who would care to know what I'm up to without bothering with pesky mass emails. I've hoped to share a bit of my own personal growth, inform others about the good works going on in their backyard, and vent a feeling or two. I try to do so with a bit of wit and humor if I can spare it.
