The Day Before Staging

It still hasn’t hit me yet that I am leaving America for South Africa. My family threw a BBQ for me. I am very grateful for all of their support in this. My mother is extremely proud of me. I also used the last day to make a lot of phone calls to friends and family. On another note, the more and more I think about my Peace Corps adventure that I am about to embark on, I have to keep reminding myself that, “ This is BIGGER than me”. Yes, I will play a major role in the continued effort of improving the education system in South Africa’s rural schools, but it’s going to take more than just me to make meaningful change. I can say that I am honored to be apart of this movement.
