We're finally about to reach the halfway mark of our service! At times it seems that the first year has flown by, and other times (especially winter) time felt that it was barely craaaaaaawwwwwlling. And yes, there have been some lows since being here but fortunately they have been countered by some incredible highs. I am truly glad to be here, to experience this country and its people firsthand, with some of the best staff and friends that anyone could ask for. I just want to thank my friends and family back home for your constant love and support, and also my fellow volunteers who have become my new family here...thank you for making my service so memorable.
Peace Corps always states that it is "the toughest job you'll ever love". Sometimes for me it has been tough, for different types of reasons, and wanting to go back to the US seemed such an obvious choice. But taking a step back and realizing why I'm truly here and how blessed I am to be able to have such an amazing opportunity like this, has reaffirmed my desire to be here...and shown me why I do love this job.
So, if things ever do look down, and you feel that some obstacles are too overwhelming to achieve, watch this video and you'll find that nothing is impossible.
