Ever since I was a small kid my parents and family along with my friends always told me that the sky was the limit. BLAH.... what a cliche', but IT IS THE TRUTH! Hearing it so much helped me believe it and following all my dreams of traveling, college, Peace Corps, etc.
I am in town for my COS conference, it is a conference that Peace Corps facilitates for us volunteers that are getting ready to close our service and head back to the US to get a better understanding of things in the US. I really didn't know what to expect going into it but I will say 2 days later after sitting in a s
mall crammed "conference room" from 8am-8pm I have a better understanding and NEW ideas for things I want to do once I finally arrive home.
They trained us on resume prep, writing our DOS's (description of service) and how to look for jobs along with saying goodbye to family and friends here.
The end result....... I want a government job!!! And I want a good one. perhaps working with international people? Maybe working for Peace Corps recruiting from the States and then jump off of there and stem into a career with a sister organization working with people that want to help developing countries. Either way, I am going to pursue a lot of different things. The sky is the limit...... WHY NOT?
Tomorrow I am heading back to my village. I plan on taking my laptop, that way I can blog about things at random and you all will have more stories to read. My ma also said she sent me a new camera in the mail... so hopefully that comes soon and I can post more photos for you guys. :) I love you all. PS. This is a picture of me and some of my girlfriends at our COS dinner.

hey Jessi so so funny. My class ring engraving on the inside says "the sky is the limit" something you have always told me and it really is true. I love you cousin and im so proud of you i can't believe the many things you have accomplished. I'm truly amazed and hearing of your adventures takes my breath away. I can't believe how much time has gone by or even how much i have grown and how far we both have come. Wish i could come see your wedding in Africa congrats Jessi i love you bigger than the sky and can't wait to see you.
