It has been one year and three months since I have been serving in Georgia. When I first submitted my application for the Peace Corps (PC), I wasn't sure which country I wanted to go, all I know that I wanted to serve in the Peace Corps. After browsing for potential states, and still could it rescue? I sent a general application, which allows the PC to send volunteers to countries that need it the most.

Why Peace Corps: This quotes by Mahatma Gandhi says it all for me " the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." As an artist, I am always on the path to self-discovery. Every design I make requires me to do tones of research and delve into the character and the world of the play. Living in Georgia with a host family has helped study the culture in more in-depth than I could have.
My Impression:
First off, Georgia is a beautiful country with huge mountains competing who can be the tallest. The country is full of natural springs and lakes and I love it. I will be updating about my projects soon.
