<p>Nikara!! So good to see you back here posting. (Don’t mean to hijack the thread, but now that nchalakova’s s is less feverish…) Nikara, are you working or…?</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, I am working. I got a good summer job as a health assistant at a summer camp, and I am currently an Americorps member with the California Safe Corps program. This means that I volunteer my time for 10.5 months with the American Red Cross doing disaster education and response. I worked at the shelters from the Station Fire a few weeks ago, and I’m actually going to be at the Emergency Preparedness fair at USC tomorrow manning the Red Cross booth. In return for my service, I get experience in the field that I want to go into, a living stipend, health insurance, and a scholarship at the end. I’m definitely enjoying the experience!</p>
