last night i went and met up with a kazak peace corps volunteer in town. it was interesting listening to her perspective, what she is dealing with, how different our services are. one thing we had in common is we were both english teachers and confused on if we were appreciated by the locals. constantly i ask: do people want me here? am i making an impact? am i helping anyone? i left the conversation frusterdated and confused about my service.
i took a big sigh and caught a cab back to my apartment. when i gave the address a familiar voice answered back. he turned around and it was one of my english club students. the rest of the cab ride was him telling me how much he appreciated me and what he has learned. it was this wonderful moment where i just needed someone to say thank you. sometimes you just have to trust the universe.
