Origins

It's amazing what can occur in a year's time. Last summer, I found myself at a crossroads debating what my future after graduation would be. Was I going to go immediately to graduate school- if so what/where would I study? Was I going to forego grad school and get a full-time job- again with the what/where? In July, I began to look seriously into the Peace Corps program, but a two year commitment was a little heavy for me to digest. Despite the initial hesitancy, months went by and the idea continued to grow on me. In the fall I met with a recruiter and continued looking into PC resources and online groups. Finally in December, I decided to apply. In January, I had my interview, and by April I received medical clearance. Now my adventure is about to begin as I leave next week for Georgia. I will be part of the PC Educational program, and will work as a TEFL instructor in secondary schools.

As I anxiously await for 13 June to arrive, I can't help but feel that this is just one in a series of great adventures that await me! I've already semi-passed my first test, by managing to reduce the belongings I'm taking into two bags!
