I've been seriously considering joining the Peace Corps after I get my degree. In fact, I'm going to plan on joining the Peace Corps. I really want to travel and experience new places, people, and cultures. I'm young and not yet established, so it's unlikely that I will get around as much as I want to. Also, I really, really want to do something with my life, I really want to make a difference. So many people say that but not a lot mean it. I mean it. I want to live my life to the fullest and I can't possibly stress how much I want this. It's much more than just "Oh, I want to do this and I want to do that." It's a burning desire, a passion even. If I could leave the only life I've ever known to set out on a journey to accomplish all of this, I would do it. I would do it tomorrow.
I know I can accomplish these things in the Peace Corps. I know that I will put my all into it.
Can you imagine what it would be like to know you actually made a significant difference in someone's life? This is something I don't want to pass up. It's the kind of experience that opens your eyes to whole new world, makes you see everything in a different light. All of this would be so good for me in so many ways. It would offer so much to write about.
This is what I need to stay motivated. I am going to join the Peace Corps.
