I’ve just embarked on the longest road unknown. A dream I’ve had since the ’60s. I’ve applied to the Peace Corps. After the application process, I now have an interview with my recruiter, Linda, on July 30th. I don’t know why she is called a recruiter, no one recruited me. I took the initiative. I think they should use the word advocate, that is what Linda seems to be for me. She is so encouraging. I look forward to the interview and the trip to Dallas. Yep, I’m driving there. I could have a phone interview, but hey, road trip! I’m all for that.
If any of you RPCVs are reading this, give me tips. Thanks.

Thanks, T. I wanted to insert a dancing banana, alas, it did’t happen.

Congrats on taking such a big step. I can remember the date b/c that’s Hawk’s birthday
. I know you can do it; can’t wait to hear where you’re going. You’re an inspiration

Be yourself, and be positive. Be open to anything and show you are flexible. Also, the fewer restrictions you put on what you want the faster you’ll have a posting. Also, if they didn’t tell you yet, the FBI will do a background check. At least, they did back when I applied. Just so you know.
My interview was a lot of fun. More like a conversation than an interview. Email if you want more details.
It’s a fun ride–you’ll enjoy it!! (And remember to “adopt” the youngsters in your group
And if you end up in Ghana, say hi to everyone for me 
)

Glad I’m an inspiration, Eden.
And Jam, thanks for the heads up. I hadn’t thought about “adopting” the youngsters. I do know about the FBI check, am going to get fingerprinted Wed. morning.
