L'Hopital's Rule - Convergence of Series

Consider the sequence $\left \{ a_n \right \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ defined by $\begin{aligned} a_1 &= \frac{3}{4} \\ a_n &= \frac{3^n}{4n} - \frac{3^{n-1}}{4 (n-1)}, n \in \mathbb{N} , n > 1 .\end{aligned}$ What is the value of $\displaystyle { \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n } ?$

\text{The sum diverges.}
