My best friend from high school was in Romania as a PCV and did not finish her time. I think she stayed in just over 14 mos, but she didn't enjoy it. I'll of course do a lot more research before we apply, but the idea of doing something to help the less fortunate for more than a year is high on my lifetime list.

I return every couple of years so I see that most live exactly the same way as before. I was an English teacher. It is refreshing to see the students who are now teachers themselves or who have gone on to work for businesses where they are required to use their English. It's been 10 years since I returned to the U.S. and I still grin from ear to ear when I return and I am greeted as Teacher Aimee by a former student.<br /><br />I will tell you that I valued the "older" volunteers and the experience and wisdom they brought to the organization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
