Influenced by music of Tunisia, which I learned as a part of my project, I wrote, recorded, and performed socially conscious songs at public venues and on television in the U.S. After returning to the United States, my service and experiences in Tunisia also reaffirmed and shaped my commitment to a life of service as a public school teacher, mental health worker, and professional musician. Often, it is not the task you are assigned as a Volunteer, but the culturally-interactive experiences that happen as a result living within a new community, that change your approach to your volunteer service and life journey the most.įasting during Ramadan helped me gain the respect of my Tunisian colleagues and helped me better assimilate within my Tunisian workplace and community.
Peace Corps service as a Volunteer, reflected in the vignette that follows, changed my life in so many important ways.
