It has been about three years since I first dreamed of serving in the Peace Corps, and the time was finally right for me to submit the application. I reviewed my application and remembered that I had actually completed nearly all of it 9 months ago, but hadn’t submitted due to logistical issues at the time. I stated a preference to serve in Latin America or French-speaking Africa, and I feel ready to go as soon as possible. I know that this is just the first step in a long and sometimes frustrating process, but I’m certain this is the right direction for me to take.
