One year ago today, I left my friends and family to begin my journey with the Peace Corps. I got on that plane to leave for my staging event in Philadelphia before leaving for Moldova the following day. I had no idea what to expect, and I remember being so nervous and feeling completely naïve and unprepared.
It’s hard to believe one year has already passed. This year has been full of ups and downs and in betweens. Looking back at myself one year ago, I can’t help but laugh, and I don't really know why. I guess it's because in some way, I feel like this year has just changed me so much, and in other ways, I know that I have so many more ways to mature. I never expected the ways I would or wouldn’t react to certain things. I’m not sure what the next year will bring, but I’m ready for it. Here’s to my next year in Peace Corps.
Hi! Remember me from Virginia Tech English class...with Ed Weathers I believe? :) Anyway, I just wanted to say Congratulations on your one year mark as a PCV! I returned from my PC service in Tonga as an Education Volunteer this past December. It has been a very interesting journey. I am so thankful for my time in Tonga and the more time that passes, the more I miss it! I hope that you enjoy this unique life experience as much as possible! I am so impressed with how detailed and consistent you have been about keeping this blog! I certainly did not do the same... :p Very proud of you and wishing you the best!!
