Hey!
So tonight the parentals and I attended a PC session in Decatur together. The purpose of this event was to emphasize to future parents of the PC how the health and safety of the volunteers is the number one goal of the PC staff in country. Although the session didn't really present any new information to me, I took it as a good sign that my parents came because this is the first time that they have heard information from the PC directly; before this all PC stories were relayed to them from "friend of a friends" and they got mixed emotions . I feel like this is the first time that they have given their approval together of my decision and I am SOO thankful to have their support ('cause I am definitely going to need it!). Everytime I check out the facebook groups and the yahoo groups it seems like quite a few peace corps applicants don't have very supportive families and friends so I feel truly blessed. Although my brother didn't join (I didn't expect him to, not that he's not supportive of me though) for the session, he did meet us afterwards for dinner at Zyka. I mean who can pass up the opportunitiy to eat the best chicken 65 (which I am going to miss terribly!)...
