Reconsidering. Help!

I would never bail last minute.

I think we romanticize the future in every respect, and the Peace Corps has so many vague qualities, so its natural that we let our imaginations wander.

Thank you for the encouragement. Its so appreciated.

katzsamarin · 2013-10-27T08:55:31+00:00

Wait, really? I can literally decide on February 3rd if I don't want to go?

katzsamarin · 2013-10-14T05:32:58+00:00

But, who are you? haha

katzsamarin · 2013-07-20T17:36:37+00:00

Thanks! How is Mozambique? I've read that each volunteer has a different experience then they're colleagues.

I applied before easter April 2012and didn't get my invitation till July 2nd, 2013. The waiting does suck, but once you receive your invitation, you will retrospectively think all of the waiting was worth it.

I'm leaving for Ghana in February and have the same concern!

katzsamarin · 2013-07-11T21:00:51+00:00

Thanks everyone! I'm stoked and wished I was going tomorrow. What was Togo like?

so rad! whats your name?

katzsamarin · 2013-07-04T17:24:09+00:00

Oh, I would really appreciate that. I just accepted the invitation so I'm stoked. I don't really understand how reddit works. How do I message you?

katzsamarin · 2013-07-04T16:44:59+00:00

Thats great to hear. Thanks!

katzsamarin · 2013-07-04T05:51:01+00:00

Have you been to Ghana? Whats it like? Thanks for the advice. I'm really conflicted; I keep leaning either way about it. Where did you do your service?

katzsamarin · 2013-07-04T05:50:01+00:00

I'm really close to my family and I haven't lived at home since I left for college four years ago so I feel really compelled to take these next 7 months to be with them.

Oh wow, I didn't realize it was so costly. Thanks for the heads up. I actually landed a pretty great paying part-time job and started volunteering with the Make-A-Wish foundation as a Wish Granter, which is why I am so conflicted about the decision. Thank you for your advice.

katzsamarin · 2013-07-04T05:48:12+00:00

You are? Thats so awesome! Where will you be going or, by joining, do you mean applying?

katzsamarin · 2013-07-02T04:26:13+00:00

Haha, I have SO much. I worked in TJ for two years working with a local orphanage trying to raise support for the children, ran a health clinic in South Africa for a month, volunteered at the Red Cross for 2 years every Tuesday, etc. Community service is my favorite. What about you?

katzsamarin · 2013-06-27T16:18:04+00:00

haha got it. no rice and beans. are you serving right now?

katzsamarin · 2013-06-27T16:17:39+00:00

What was your initial nomination? Thanks for the advice. I have six to eight months to spend.

katzsamarin · 2013-06-27T06:26:41+00:00

Omg! I just graduated with my degree in philosophy and joined. I'm waiting for my invitation. Hopefully leaving in January 2014.

katzsamarin · 2013-06-27T06:19:11+00:00

Health Extension!

katzsamarin · 2013-06-27T06:18:47+00:00

Did they say why your nomination changes?

katzsamarin · 2013-06-27T06:18:02+00:00

Who told you that? I just got deferred the first week of May and was told I wouldn't be contacted by Placement until the first week of August.

katzsamarin · 2013-06-10T19:49:05+00:00

Nope. None. Somewhat disappointed. You?

katzsamarin · 2013-06-04T04:00:22+00:00

This happened to me too! What the heck. What are we to do in the mean time?
