I completed my application this weekend: resume, recommendations were sent to the best three choices I could think of to help me out(my manager, the coordinator with Red Cross, and my ex-boyfriend E's step mom), and I wrote my essay answers out. The only thing that is keeping me from getting my application to show "complete" is post-secondary education. I have none. I sent an e-mail the recruiting office in Chicago asking if they can give me some feedback for a way to submit, and I'll see what they have to say.
With all of this said, I am now feeling a wave of nervousness about the whole situation. It's not a negative feeling, more so of a feeling of the unknown. "Will I get an interview or will I be rejected?" "If I AM rejected, what will I need to do to qualify next time around?" The more I think about the Peace Corps, the more I feel like I need to experience it. I haven't had a drive like this about anything before really, minus the desire to have a family. If I don't qualify this time around, I guess the best that I can do is take their feedback about what steps I need to take to qualify next time around, and then make sure that I do everything they ask-even if it means more or different volunteer work and foreign language along with my schooling.
I know that I need to just wait and see, I'm just having a hard time relaxing! Patience isn't always my virtue.
