Did I tell you guys about that one time I applied to Peace Corps, made it all the way to the nomination stage, but then decided to defer and attend graduate school first?
Yea…no?
Well it happened again. Not the leaving the application part but the applying.
Yup I applied again(months ago) because I am ready and it’s time!

I had my interview this week and will post more about it. But I decided to share this experience on my blog as a way to hold my self accountable to finish this process.
No excuses this time. Not that getting a master’s degree was a bad idea. However there are times I look at my student loan payments and cringe 🙁
As I post regarding this process, ask me questions, give me advice, or even leave video requests. This will remind me that I have accountability police ha ha and to stay consistent with these Peace Corps application process posts.
Who knows, it might give me great material for the book I’m writing ^_^I’ll leave you with a little quote from Leo Tolstoy:“Not in order to justify, but simply in order to explain my lack of consistency, I say: Look at my present life and then at my former life, and you will see that I do attempt to carry them out. It is true that I have not fulfilled one thousandth part of them [Christian precepts], and I am ashamed of this, but I have failed to fulfill them not because I did not wish to, but because I was unable to. Teach me how to escape from the net of temptations that surrounds me, help me and I will fulfill them; even without help I wish and hope to fulfill them…”
Good for young! Hang in there, God is with you 🙂
nice, looking forward to it bearing fruit and living vicariously as you take on a new journey.
