July 23, 2008 will mark the first day of my two year, three month Peace Corps Assignment in Cambodia. My assigment is to teach English to high school students and to work on community development projects. Basically means: Eddie + foriegn land + new culture = excitement, enthusiasm, hillarious and humiliating moments and lots of mosquito bites. Fun!
About Me
- Eddie
- Cambodia
- Explorer by nature, Anthropologist through insanity. I get excited about the little things in life, but am especially enthusiastic when I know I have done something that made a positive impact on someone's life. After graduating college in 07' from George Mason University, I set out to Austin to try a new town. There, I started working for Dell, and quickly realized the for-profit world was not for me. I needed to do something I could be passionate about, something that would change lives. I applied for the Peace Corps, and within five months I received my assigment -- Cambodia. I had never been so happy as the moment I opened my invitation packet, I think I cried, snorted, laughed, screamed, and maybe even burped all simultaneously. Or at least thats how I felt. During the next two years, I hope to learn as much from my Cambodian hosts as they learn from me, and I will be excited to share all these ups and downs, laughs and struggles with everyone who reads by jargoled banter of a blog ;)
