SIGH
I have been reading job postings, researching organizations, completing applications, and asking people to be my reference for positions since last August. Of course there were lulls where I focused more on my present life than a future positions, but seriously, what’s the problem?!?!? Dear future employer, where ever you are in the universe be assured that I am an extremely hard working, compassionate, over-educated, and motivated worker. I’m motivated, but don’t worry, I will have the patience to navigate your culture, respect your ways, learn some of your language, and love your people. I get that the electric will go out, that there will be unnecessary bureaucracy, that I will have spiders in my shower and have to boil my drinking water. I know I’ll get home sick, I’ll have a lot of rediculous restrictions being a woman and it’s going to be hard, but I have calculated these risks. I have faced them before, and I will face them again. I can only sit on the sidelines and read about a topic for so long, I need to jump in now. I just want to get my foot in the door of development!

i love people
Sometimes this feeling bubbles up inside of me where I just want to say out loud, “I LOVE PEOPLE.” Really, I do.
