Life is calling...

Life is calling...how far will you go?

Today, I began a process that will direct my life post-graduation. I started my online application to become a Peace Corps volunteer. I can remember when asked "what do you want to do when you grow up" on a school project I was in 4th or 5th grade when I wrote be a peace corps volunteer.

At the time, I don't think I fully understood what it meant (I probably don't even now.) My heart is set on serving abroad for two years. I want to be able to contribute to a community in a developing country but I'm most curious to find out what I have to learn from nationals of the country that I will get placed in.

Until my departure, my day dreaming will consist of peace corps.

Kate,

You will never regret joining the Peace Corps. The experiences you will have and the people you will meet will leave a mark on you forever. I remember my days in Yemen as a volunteer fondly. Go for it and enjoy the ride!!!!
