Recommended: Summary of studying abroad

My overall goal for the future is to one day be the ambassador for a country that is not the most stable of places, whether that be an African country or one in Latin America. In order to achieve my goal, my future plans consist of graduating from college as a first generation Hispanic and afterwards applying to the Peace Corps. I feel as if being a member of the Peace Corps would allow me the opportunity to have a hands on experience that I would otherwise not have. I wish to join the Peace Corps as a result of a dream I have and hope to achieve by working as a missionary and in joining the Peace Corps, I would not only be helping myself with my future endeavors but would also allow me the opportunity of working with people that are in need

  • Peace Corps Application

    A: I am excited to use many of the professional skills and experience I have acquired here in the United States during my Peace Corps service. With my education as a Medical Science major, I believe I have a deep understanding of how many of the intricacies of the body work. This education will work perfectly when educating others of the biological aspects of HIV/AIDS as well as other diseases that are prevalent in Botswana. Through my HIV/AIDS counseling and test administration here at Washington State University I have also had a good amount of practice explaining the virus as well as the dangers associated with risky behavior. Through this counseling experience, I have learned a lot of new things about testing procedures and drug administration as well as new scientific discoveries associated to the virus and the war against it. My EMT training will also come in handy in many situations throughout my Peace Corps experience. I hope I never have to use any of the emergency medicine I am trained in. However, many non life threatening techniques will certainly come in handy on a daily basis. This includes things such as dehydration prevention and treatment of wounds.

  • The Importance Of Serving The Tolupon

    493 Words  | 1 Pages

    As a University of North Carolina student, the Carolina community will learn from me why it is important to serve. My definition of the word “SERVE” is to Support, Encourage, Reach, Value and Evolve. For the last three years during spring break, I have served the Tolupan Indian tribe in the Honduran mountains. As part of this experience, I have supported the Tolupon by sharing the love of Christ and providing necessary supplies, food and medical services. To encourage members of the village, I took school supplies, toys and clothing to the Tolupon children. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the men and women and to hear the children laugh as they receive toys and clothes has been rewarding and helps me realize I have made a difference in their lives.

    There are moments in this life that set people on a path towards greatness. When I was in the fourth grade, my parents were having problems with their marriage. These were not the typical problems that could be resolved within a day. They were problems that produced screaming matches in the evening, slammed doors and a fourth grader too afraid to interrupt in order to get a parental signature on her reading log for the week. I thought the worst of my problems were over when my my father left our family, our home. Finally, there was peace. I would have felt guilty about my pleasure upon his departure, except I knew that things would be easier without him. Yet this peace did not last long. Perhaps a week later my mother pulled me out of school and told me that she was going to visit my father, she told me that he was sick.
