It took from February 16th until August 6th, countless visits to medical professionals, and a lot of patience and flexibility to get to this point. In the end it worth the wait. I have been invited to become a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine!!! My journey begins on September 25th and my commitment lasts twenty-seven months. A few quick tidbits about Ukraine (I knew very little to nothing about this country until I was invited to go there).......
Language-Ukranian (Russian near the Russian Boarder)
President- Viktor A. YUSHCHENKO (I'm still trying to figure out when and why they capitalize all of the letters in certain words.)
