Why Peace Corps?
Over the past few weeks, Peace Corps has become real. I'm really doing this, it's not just that dream I've had since high school. There are many reasons why I wanted to join Peace Corps, and I wanted to take a moment to share why. Everyone has been super supportive, and, to my surprise, didn't have to explain why I wanted to join Peace Corps to many people. During staging I learned that the reason I wanted to do Peace Corps was similar to other volunteers....the act of helping others is rooted in an emotional (be that love, kindness, caring etc.) calling to help fellow human beings (regardless of color, religious belief, ethnicity, class) meet basic needs.
I wanted to write more about how I got here and so on, but most of you know that story. I'm so excited to finally be taking active steps to make Peace Corps a reality, not just a dream anymore. I want to thank everyone who has helped me get to this point. :)
(;b) i got you!
