Hi all!
I decided that my Peace Corps Service does in fact deserve its own blog (plus I actually was able to come up with a title!). I will be leaving September 10, 2014 for 27 months of Peace Corps service as a community health educator in Cameroon. This has been a long process as I started my application in September 2012 and originally received an invitation to leave on May 27, a departure date which had to be delayed due to Boko Haram activity in the North.
I decided to become a Peace Corps volunteer when a RPCV spoke to my class in fourth grade. I went home that day and told my mom that this is what I wanted to do. So she has had plenty of time to get used to the idea of me leaving the country for two years.
I already have a pile of items in my room that I want to bring with me and am trying to figure out how I will fit all of that into two bags and a carryon. I've received all of the immunizations required by Peace Corps at this point, submitted my visa and passport applications, and answered what feels like hundreds of questions for Peace Corps. Now I just need to work for a few more months, spend as much time as I can with family and friends, and take advantage of my last few months in the United States. .
I hope you will follow along with me as I undertake this journey and please keep me informed of what is going on at home. I will do a "Flat MB" while I'm gone and if this is something you are interested in, let me know. I would love to receive pictures of Flat MB having lots of adventures while real MB has her own adventures. I truly am excited to share this with all of you. TTFN!
