Be The Change
It’s not often you truly get to “be the change you wish to see in the world.” Today, at my first day of school, I realized a few things.
1. The Peace Corps allows people to have so many opportunities to meet young people (any people really, just mostly young) that they could seriously influence their lives.
2. Recognizing that moment or opportunity is a challenge, a beautiful, difficult, eye-opening challenge.
3. When you do see it, it feels like you occupy such an incredibly tiny place in the world but also that you’re ten feet tall. It’s weird. Beautifully weird.
4. If you don’t seize these moments, you will feel that your service is unfulfilled.
I have huge opportunities here and I’m working hard to seize each one. Beginning with the four girls who are very proactive and have already scheduled private lessons with me this week.
What a positive thing to happen on a first day. I’m excited to see what the rest of the year has to bring.
Until next time,
Diane
