Im Leaving for a Place Far Far Away!!!
Many of you have heard me say for quite a while that I was going to keep a blog of my adventures in Madagascar time and time again. Well here it is! Although the blog has been up for a bit, this is my first of many blog post. I will be posting on here as often as possible about all of the stories of my adventures during my Peace Corps service. Until I get to my site (in about 11 weeks) I will not know how often I will be able to get online, but I do promise to update when I can.
Many of you have asked why I decided to join the Peace Corps. I am not sure if I can give a singular
Peace Crops Application Timeline
Joining the Peace Corps can be a big life changing decision. There is no grantee that you will get in, where you will go, or what you will be doing when you get there, but the rewards are far worth the effort. Although the process has changed a bit since I applied back in 2013, the timeline seems to somewhat the same. The timeline can differ from person to person and for each sector and country.
I have had a few people ask me about the timeline of my application process, so I have decided to post a bulleted version of it. What follows are just the events and dates that I found important. There were a few other follow up interviews and questionnaires that I had to also fill out, but I think the following gives a good idea about the time frame between the major events. If there is any questions about any of the events or anything fill free to comment or e-mail me.
