I have been contemplating the Peace Corps for quite some time now. I am in the midst of applying. The process will take more than 8 hours, they suggest. I am more and more thrilled every time that i look at what could be in my near future.
I am attempting to apply for the International Masters program via Appalachian's graduate school. I hope that all this works out. I don't really think that i am ready for any alternatives. I think that being away from my family and my life will be a challenge, but only in the best ways will i learn and appreciate more of what i have in my life. I know that there are other ways to figure out oneself and discover/explore life and other people, but i think that this experience has my name written all over it. I am hoping for the best and hope that i can one day represent the Peace Corps.
Looking back on my life when i am older, i would love to say that this experience changed my life and bettered my concept of the world around me. I want to change the world, but since that is not single-handedly done, i'll settle for the smaller goals that the Peace Corps can offer to me.
