Work... (or lack there of)
12.12.12 I remember I use to look at the Peace Corps website and read the featured story of the month (or week or whatever), “Peace Corps Volunteer helps local community ______.” It’s always a great success story about a volunteer in some part of the world that designed an awesome event with their community and had a great local impact. I admit, I opened that website and imagined myself in that headline. Not exactly as the volunteer that helped her community develop a fair trade program for organic coffee, but you know… I fantasized about being THAT volunteer. That volunteer that would go out and actually help. That volunteer that would make the Peace Corps headlining story. Ambitious, right? Ahaha… Well, it’s December 12 th today…. Exactly four months into my service and sadly, my work as a peace corps volunteer is no where near that ‘success’ story fantasy of mine. I get it, I’ve only been here for a few months and should give myself a break… change doesn’t happen ...
