Among the expectations I had coming into Peace
Corps service was the one that I would develop various skills that I otherwise
wouldn’t have time to practice.
This has been partially true: I can speak Bulgarian, juggle three tennis
balls for about 20 seconds without dropping one, and have learned a lot about
my strengths and weaknesses. One thing I have not done that I was certain I
would is knit. When I departed from the U.S., I expected my bags to return
after two years with handmade socks and hats for all my family and friends. As
of two weeks ago, I had not knitted anything, but I brought yarn and needles
with me on my road trip in Romania, and successfully knitted a scarf/neckwarmer
AND a hat.
