Hey everyone! It is now November, and my two year service in the Peace Corps is almost finished. On November 20th, I will be returning back home to Brooklyn, New York to get ready to celebrate the upcoming holidays with my family and friends. My experience in Colombia has been truly life-changing. It has been full of learning experiences, community building, trying new things, and having fun. I am so grateful to have joined the Peace Corps and I recommend all of you to look into the possibilities it offers for your future. https://www.peacecorps.gov/
Since I have arrived in Colombia I have grown so much. I feel that I am leaving as a new person. I am now a real-deal adult with experience in learning a new language, building a life in a new place, teaching, making friends, building an identity and networking, and with a desire for even more adventure. My life here has been so special. I have tried so many new things whether it be foods, talking with new people, sports, or hobbies. I have developed my past interests even more. And most importantly, I feel as if I have actually made a positive impact teaching English at school and in my community.
