The Beginning and The End

Alright this is it. I have made a blog. After thinking about different ways to communicate throughout my journey in the Peace Corps this is what I have decided will work best. I hope to keep this updated to the best of my ability.

Anyways, the beginning and the end.
This is the beginning of the next chapter of my life. Peace Corps Ghana. Natural Resource Advisor. Im not quite sure what it all mean just yet but its happening whatever it is! Im trying to learn all there is to know about Ghana and beginning to pick up a bit of Twi, one of over 70 languages they speak in Ghana.  It is only the beginning there is much to learn and experience. I think its going to be a long road, probably dirt with a few pot holes but hey Im not used to anything else!

This is the end of a chapter in my life. College. Bellingham. United States of America.  It has been a great one filled with fun times with fun people. I would not change one bit of it. I loved living in Bellingham with all it has to offer, I hope to return someday.  I loved school for all its long nights and frustrating exams it has given me the foundation to grow and apply what I have learned in the real world and that what Im off to do. I have spent to many hours memorizing mechanisms and writing abstracts it time to just do something.


A blurb from my aspirations statement.  I dont understand what they are looking for by asking me this. I can not see into the future and honestly I don't want to.



E: How you think Peace Corps service will influence your personal and professional aspirations after your service ends.

            My experience serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer will greatly influence my personal and professional aspirations but as of right now I don’t know in which ways that will occur.   I think I am selling myself short of the full experience by trying to predict how I will feel in two years.  I expect to be challenged, I expect to grow, and I expect that these will influence the rest of my life in many ways. Changes will occur in the way I live my life, what I will want to study, and things that I will want to do with my life. Once I begin this experience, journey, adventure, or plainly, job, I will have a better understanding of how my life aspirations are effected. Until then I will continue to aspire to live, learn, and love.


Until next time,
Live in Love
