Good post. Jack was really on to something. I'm glad you were able to discover all of this about yourself.

i thought about joining the peace corps too
a friend of mine that i used to work with joined last year and she is now teaching biology in tanzania to young girls. her living conditions are unheard of to someone like you or me. she loves it though.

but there's plenty to be done here in the united states.
there's plenty of human rights causes to support.

You're right about there being plenty of things to do here. Whatever I do, I want to be able to reach out to people, and I guess I can do that right here. =)

His Lj is phantom887.
