You have an addictive writing style. It’s easy to start and not stop for hours.

I was googling for AmeriCorps blog and I found this. I’m recommending it to other people who are also starting. Enjoyable read, both funny and sad. Congrats on serving a year.

Hello,
I started reading from the beginning and thought it was enjoyable. But the introduction of the Dimples “character” changes the whole dynamic into something much more palpable in terms of me as a reader getting a feel for what you did there. It is obvious this student is affecting you more than the others. I am only in January right now and I hope to read the rest soon.

I read all of it over a 7-hour period—-just couldn’t stop. Congrats and can’t say enough about your writing style. Easy on the eyes, funny, flows well, and built on honesty, happiness, sadness, frustration —-appreciate the hard work. what are you up to now?

Hi-
This is Denise Burgess, friend of your folks… not to put on too much pressure… but I told your mom that you have to use your excellent communication skills to describe everything going on in DC over this great week! I’m living vicariously through you and am anxious to read all about it… so if you weren’t already planning to document the Inauguration I hope you will consider doing so!
At the very least you need to find a way to see Bruce! lol
Have fun and be safe and enjoy this special time!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kindest regards,
Denise

I think even as a straight-up recounting of your AmeriCorps experience would have been enjoyable to read, but your humor and references — pop culture, music, literature, sports — interwoven with an obvious love of what you do makes it wholly entertaining as well. I’ve sent the link to several of my friends.
