I Started to Apply in January, 2008. This involved writing 2 essays, a resume, transcripts, 3 references, answering background questions concerning debt, children, and felonies ,a volunteer log, and a brief, 100 question medical form.
In February, 2008, I was called to do an interview…
On March 5, 2008, i was officially nominated for Sub-Sahara Africa in January 2009 doing community services.
On March 7, 2008 Peace Corps mailed my medical packet which consisted of an EXTENSIVE trip to the doctor, trip to the dentist, a trip to the eye doctor. April 24, 2008 Peace Corps recieved my medical packet. After,
2 trips to the doctor

1 trip to the eye doctor
