My Invitation!!!!!

Well, I woke up from a nap before going to work today, and Wham! Sitting in my little mailbox was a big packet from the Peace Corps. I opened it up and took a few breaths before opening the packet, as I will now know where I am going after my almost 12 month application process.





When I opened the packet, I was pleasantly surprised; I am headed to Nicaragua my friends! Land of lakes and volcanoes!!! I thought I would add a map of where Nicaragua is, for those of you who failed 6th grade geography.


The program that I will be working in is the TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) teacher trainer. From what I understand, I will be working with English teachers by introducing new teaching methodologies, as well as helping them better their English. I will also be working in high schools teaching English to students. I have experience teaching students while living in Spain last year, and it was a blast!! But I have never taught teachers before, so this may be somewhat of a challenge.
I thought it would be all downhill from here, but I was totally wrong!! Now I must rewrite my aspiration statement, my résumé, and file for a government passport. Well, enough blogging for now, I have Peace Corps paperwork to do!!
