We are elated. Our PO said she would get back to us by the end of this week, but once noon on Friday (today) came around, we were sure it wasn’t going to happen. Well, she surprised us around 2:30 when she sent an email saying the following:
Christopher and Laurie,
It was a pleasure speaking with you earlier this week. I am happy to inform you that I have qualified you to receive an invitation, and identified a program for you. Congratulations for completing the final phase of the application process.
The details -
Assignment: Math Teaching and English Teaching
Region: Sub-Saharan Africa (not a French speaking country but your language prep will come in handy!)
Departure: September 27
In preparation for these assignments I would recommend that you both look into tutoring/teaching options in your respective content areas, ideally with high school students or adults. When you receive the invitation you’ll get a better idea of what to expect.
You should receive the invitation in 5 – 7 business days. Please let me know if you have any additional questions about Peace Corps service.
I immediately welled up with tears of joy. This is it. It is really and truly happening. Next post=Where we are going. Wow.
