Fuel

My desire to connect with others motivates me to serve with the Peace Corps.  I like to think that all humans are somehow connected and I am excited to deepen my connections with others in a setting that is different than the one which I am accustomed. In this new setting, I am excited to challenge my perceptions of the world and the norms that I have known. I am excited to further develop my own framework for interpreting the world around me.

My desire to  purposefully contribute to the well-being of a community motives my desire to serve with the Peace Corps. What good are connections if you're not improving the world around you?  I hope to build connections to understand perspectives and needs among community members.  I hope to learn new approaches to living and collaborate around ways to positively develop the community which I am placed, and the community around the globe. I am excited about building understanding and hopeful about what collaboration can create. 

My desire to be challenged on a level I am not aware of as of yet motivates my desire to serve with the Peace Corps. I am excited for the challenge of the unexpected. I am prepared to be pushed outside of my comfort zone, and move to both physical and mental places that are unknown. I am excited to learn.
