I've
been reflecting a lot about having spent my first year in the Peace
Corps, and although its been very tough...positive (and really cool)
things happened this year too. So I made a list.. of twelve of them.
1.
I learned a new language and people actually understand me now.
2.
I've taught roughly 250 children the first level of English.
3.
I've helped get around 10 (and counting) people access to
life-changing surgeries with my sitemate Charlotte and her work with
Operation Smile and Mercy Ships.
4.
I jumped off a mountain.
5.
I held a python and a chameleon.
6.
I had multiple lemurs sit on my shoulder.
7.
I ran a 10K.
8.
Helped run two Malaria Awareness festivals, one in a near by
community and one in my own.
9.
I went body surfing in the Indian Ocean.
10.
Learned how to make rice...but seriously it hasn't been easy.
11.
Realized I am a hell-of-a-lot stronger than I thought I was.
12.
Made my mother really proud.
There
is bound to be another year of amazing things ahead of me!
