"If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together." -African Proverb
My experience here in the Peace Corps is about my experience and perspective. You all have been very engaging with your feedback, comments, messages and emails. I can't thank you enough for your support. However, there's another group of people that support me as well. They are my fellow volunteers. Collectively, we're experiencing the same things of culture clash, language learning and PST training. Individually, we're experiencing those same things through the lens of our own perspectives. Plus, you might enjoy reading my blog but if you're from the NorthEast, out West or another country my college football references will be lost. Again, the support from y'all is a great boost for me but I know that you're curious about what else is going on in Macedonia. For example there are people who are learning TWO languages right now. Also, you ladies can read about experiences that you'll find interesting or difficult when I wouldn't even think to write about them.
