Its official

Ok, official transition; no longer a Peace Corps Trainee, but now a prestigious Peace Corps Volunteer. They make it a point to never call us PCV's during training.... we're always aware of our sublevel status. But it made swearing in all the more significant. As a group, we all held up our hands and repeated the oath from the Charge d'Affairs. It was quite solemn. Then our Program Managers gave us a pin on it with the Peace Corps logo and ont op of it, an American flag and a Guyanese flag. Two years of thinking about it and applications, two months of training, and I am finally a Peace Corps Volunteer.
