why is matt going?
Why?
I believe it is important to know other parts of the world. I want to understand another culture intimately, to use my skills (technology education and youth development) to strengthen communities—wherever they may be.
I also want to have an adventure. I like to have interesting experiences where I can learn new things and also share what I know. So I guess I hope this is a two way street: I’ll teach some stuff, but probably learn a lot too. I’ve learned that personal experience is the most powerful teacher, so I’ll try to put myself in new situations.
It will be important to have the ability to relate to other cultures in the future—as the US becomes more and more culturally diverse. I also think this might be a good experience for leadership development.
I have a desire to be of service and I have already been in AmeriCorps (a domestic version of PC), so I want to experience how PC is the same, or different.
One of my ministers spoke of being “an instrument of peace.” That really resonated with me. I’d like to be an instrument of peace.
The slogan I’ve been using at the YMCA with computer labs has been “Discover, Learn, Create, Share.” To me, that sums up the process I hope others can have using technology. I hope to include these words in my work in Peace Corps.
