People often ask me, "Why the Peace Corps?": I could tell them how I love to travel, how I fell in love with motion and universe and challenges and helping others because I can never find the right words to explain the guilt of privilege filling inside. How I am a piece of war torn land and struggles and history of conflict and family escaping into America for security, opportunity. Making home far away from where I come from. For me, Peace Corps is acknowledging the sense of responsibility I owe to my people, to all people and humanity. An opportunity to utilize the experiences I have gained along the way, while challenging my beliefs, comfort and reminder to self how I am no different from third world struggle than the reality of family getting away.
