I just stumbled accross your blog on the Peace Corps journal website. I actually just had to make the decision not to go to Uganda with the Peace Corps (I was supposed to leave this week). I've been feeling bad about it too, so I can only imagine what you're feeling. I just wanted to offer you some support! I'm sure you made the right decision! Good luck in the future! :) Erica Hey!

I was originally nominated for November, but got pushed back due to various reasons. Just try to hang in there. Good luck, and if you wind up going to South Africa make sure to keep in touch!

I have been waiting since May to find out where I am going and still no word. I have a nomination for SSA January health as well. I am hoping that I am going to South Africa as well. Here's to hoping I find out soon if I will be joining you on the trip! Hey so I am super jealous of you. I have been waiting since May to find out where I am going and still no word.

Just wanted to thank you for your blog and your post on yahoo groups! Your blog is very informative and sort of allays my fears of rejection for Monday (I had my interview yesterday, Friday, and he said he'd get back to me then). I graduated from UT Austin with a BA in Soc. :) I was doing a BS in Psych but ended up not. It's nice that you have time to volunteer... I haven't really had a chance in a long time. But he said I need to get CPR certified and also start doing some volunteering... I'm hoping Planned Parenthood will help me out. So I can help them out. I've always wanted to volunteer there... oh look, I'm babbling! Sorry about that. Looks like you're waiting on your invite, so that's awesome! Good luck. :) I too, if I get nominated, will be dealing with HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa (I expressed interest in mainly working with women and children regarding sexual and reproductive health). Once again, thank you so much! ~ Megan Hi Nadine.

My nomination is for Youth, but if they have to change my invite I know Community is an option, but I'm trying to figure out if Health is. I don't have any health background other than a high school class and common knowledge, but I do get CPR/First Aid certified on July 26th. So basically, I'm trying to figure out if I can get invited for Health with just that certification, and before* I get the certification (on the stipulation that I receive the certification on that date). I only started thinking about this because I'm nominated for August and should be hearing something this week...but am starting to get worried it'll change, which is fine, but trying to think of things it could change too, and obviously the more options the better. Do you have any clue? if so you could e-mail me or comment on my website.... GL with everything! I sorta had a question on my mind similar to this topic.
