Peace Corps?

I started this blog around my birthday, a few days after opening a Peace Corps application. The possibility and excitement of Peace Corps has crossed my mind since early high school, possibly even junior high. Sometimes I feel like it is futile to resist - sometimes I am wholly unsure of what I want to do.

I have chosen to follow some of the most sage advice I was ever given - do what excites you most, do what scares you the most, do what challenges you. Such excellent wisdom from such a dry backtalker of a brother (and I mean that in the best way possible).

As I oscillate between travel abroad, political internships, Peace Corps, and more, I do know that I will choose a path where I continue to learn and challenge myself - because that is what is most important right now.
