I think I finally know, now. I got the idea to look up the Peace Corps about a month ago, and the longer I think about it, the more I research it, I know this is what I’m meant to do.
There has to be a reason why I’m the way I am. Why when most people around here are complaining about the heat, I just shrug and move on. Why, when the news is on, I am so antagonistic towards the ‘in-depth’ reporters when their stories do not have much depth at all. Why I am so interested in anthropology.
I’m meant to help people. I’m meant to go out into the world and try my best to stop it from getting worse. To help reverse the world’s problems as I can. I can see it so clearly now.
I think I finally understand what Susan Cerulean was talking about in that stupid book from Comp 1, now. How an idea can take hold of you, how it can change your entire paradigm. How your life’s work can take hold of you and never let go.
It’s a wonderful feeling. I know, now, and I’ll never let that feeling go.
