I am apart of known as the "China 20" class , who are all extraordinary people. Over these last couple months I was continually being introduced to new people as well as befriended quite a few. However, the cards were not in my favor to stay with them on their journey to China. As soon as we were notified that the number of volunteers being sent to China had to be cut, I had a feeling it was a sign I wasn't meant to go; I almost volunteered myself up willingly to be transferred to another post. Yet, the idea of China and the people I would be volunteering with, made me hold off. Nonetheless it was never my decision to make. While I am disappointed and feel like I am back to square 1 in the unknown of where I'll be sent, I am more appreciative of the opportunity to be a Peace Corps volunteer in general.
I have faith the China 20 group and I will continue this journey together; although separate countries we can exchange stories/experiences, maybe couch surfing at one another's posts and support each other through out the course of our service.
I have to be honest I am battling some self doubt, but still I know I am strong enough for this process and what the PC has in store me and will continue to be 110% committed to their goals. The Peace Corps has been my dream, 1 road block won't change my mind. Monday a placement officer will call me to discuss my technical skills and my options for service, also providing possible departure dates. Fingers crossed I don't have to wait too long. There are posts departing in August and September, 2-3months delay isn't ideal but will only benefit me. Allowing myself time to read up on my future host country and preparing for my service.
I refuse to let negativity consume me. There is a destination that is waiting for me and holds such adventure and opportunities! I have to believe wherever I end up will be amazing because no matter what I am still apart of a spectacular community.
