1)Cross-cultural Experience
Peace Corps Volunteers must be open to ideas and cultures different from their own and may need to modify their appearance or behavior appropriately. Give an example (between 250-500 words) of a significant experience that illustrates your ability to adapt in an unfamiliar environment. Please highlight the skills you used and the perspectives you gained. You may draw from experiences in your work, school, or community in the U.S. or abroad. Please list the date(s) of your experience.2)Motivation Statement
Peace Corps service presents major physical, emotional, and intellectual challenges. You have provided information on how you qualify for Peace Corps service elsewhere in the application. In the space below, please provide a statement (between 250-500 words) that includes:1) Your reasons for wanting to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer; and
2) How these reasons are related to your past experiences and life goals.
I laugh in the face of such short essays! The hard part will be condensing all I have to say to 250-500 words. I tend to be longwinded sometimes. Verbose, one might say. But that totally made my day. I'm taking the prompts w/ me to work today so I can rhuminate on them, & I'll try to knock one out each morning before work. (I'm leaving the work experience section for last. Why do they always make you type everything up individually, AND upload a resume, where you have the exact same information? *rolls eyes*)
