I've been volunteering at Habitat for two months now. I enjoy adding details to the digital photos. I recognize that I'm doing cataloging work. I just laughed to myself, because I remember that I was doing similar work at Georgia State University's Archives and Special Collections.
There I was an intern doing a course for my Master of Library and Information Science degree. My project was organizing the Welch collection. The collection contained many images such as prints, transparencies, and slides. I loved seeing the places that Ernest G. Welch had gone.
I just remembered how similar what I'm doing now at Habitat is to that experience at GSU. LOL, then I thought, well what did I do after that internship? I went to Martinique four months later.
I'm still a bit ambiguous about whether I should stay in Georgia and work full time or continue my life ambition and teach English abroad. If I do go abroad, then the Republic of Georgia will be my next destination. I'm learning how I can make a life for myself in Georgia, but travel still calls me.
I don't know about taking my mom with me abroad. But if I get her Honduran passport renewed, then she could come with me, but to a country where I could earn more money. The Republic of Georgia cannot pay much at this time to its volunteer English teachers.
I'm not sure of what the future will bring, but I still want to dare to dream and not submit to fear. AMEN.
