One more week until I’m an official Peace Corps Volunteer! The swearing-in ceremony is this upcoming Friday at 9am. The very next day (Saturday morning), I leave for my site permanently.
Am I ready? YES!!!!!!
Training has been exhaustive and busy. Best to describe it as formal education with field visits. Not surprisingly (especially if you’ve been reading the past blogs), my favorite part of training has been the time spent with my host family. It is such a comfortable, loving and peaceful environment. They included me in family activities; taught me about Costa Rican culture; and had patience while I treated Spanish as a scratched cd. But most importantly, they embraced me as another member of their family.
Today, we (PCTs) held a party in their honor. While it was a “goodbye” to our families and communities, it demonstrated the relationships built. Giving hugs and kisses to the other parents, I made promises to visit the other families when I return to visit my own host family.
Enough of blogging. Time to focus my attention on the Saprissa soccer game!!
