yesterday, our boss told us just that. today we swear in and officially become volunteers. yee yee! i am really excited to move into my community and work there, but it is somewhat overwhelming that my work really has become my life. i am now a representative of the states 24/7. community members take note of every little thing that volunteers do. you have to consider how everything you do will be perceived by the people in your town. and you are living in your community to help in any which way and to create a culture exchange, so you really are working all day, every day. but i say, bring it on. i am super excited to get started! wish me luck!
so, i end here with some pictures from my training period.
