“ Build a resume that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be, but it’s a story about who you want to be. Build a resume that isn't a collection of titles and positions but a story that’s really about your purpose... What is your true calling? What is your dharma? What is your purpose?”
...so that's what I'm doing. I am finding my purpose, my true calling, my balance in the universe.Quite a few people have asked me "How did you become interested in the Peace Corps?" and every time I go to answer this question I find that my answer becomes more complicated.
If you asked me this question at 16 or 17 years old, when I first heard about the Peace Corps, I would say "..because I want to change the world." This is still true today but in a different aspect. I'm definitely not going to China to change it. In fact, if anything, I'll leave China changed. I love change and I embrace it very well...unless I have to physically pack for it, then that's a headache! On a serious note, I look forward to all that I can teach and more importantly, all that I will learn from my new home and its people.
I mean come on, who wouldn't be excited about eating Bok Choy for breakfast in CHINA?!
