28 Days!
Holy Cow! I am 28 days from staging in Philadelphia and my
departure to Swaziland, Africa. Today was my last day of work and it is still
surreal that I am leaving for Africa in just a few short weeks. I am nowhere
near ready. However I will tell you about my journey thus far. This post will
be short but I am hoping to post a couple more times before my departure. Below
is a little timeline. It takes a long time from start to finish to be accepted
and cleared for the Peace Corps. I am so excited and honored to be a part of such and amazing organization.
May 22,2015- I applied for the Peace Corps
June 6, 2015- Under consideration for Swaziland- I received an
email stating that the Peace Corps was considering me for Swaziland 2016.
August 8, 2015- Request for an interview
August 18, 2015- Interview- After so technical difficulty with the video portion of the interview. I made it through.
September 1st 2015- Invitation to serve!
April 2016- Medical Clearance- After a long road I was
finally medically cleared for service.
