Well, it’s official. I’ve been sworn in as a VISTA volunteer, and right now I’m waiting for the bus to take me to the airport. Now begins a period of at least a years service, maybe as long as three, just because that’s how long the project is. Anything can (and probably will) happen over the next year, so I’ll know around April Fool’s Day 2007 if I’m going to continue or move on to something else.
The experiences and friends I have made over the past 3 days will last a lifetime. I am glad to have picked this, as this training has provided a new point in my life. The experiences and challenges I will face over the next year will provide me with valuable training to do anything I want once my service is done.
See you back in Memphis.
