Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:
It has been slightly less than 2 years since I COS'd. I travelled for 8
months, then went to Guatemala to study Spanish, and then moved to
Quito where I taught English at the Fulbright Commission. Currently I
am temping in the Seattle Peace Corps office and trying to figure out
my next direction. I want to return to PC but this time as a health care
educator and want to spend a year or two in the States getting more
experience in this field beyond having taught first aid for many years.
I'd particularly like to be involved in health care issues with our
Hispanic communities.
Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:
I have great enthusiasm for my PC years--if only it weren't so darned
hot in the PPs. However I learned that when I am busy, I can ignore a
lot of difficulties and focus on what I'm trying to do.
Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:
