Peace Corps "I entered the Peace Corps assuming that I would spend the next two years in a distinctly different world, full of people unlike me in every way. Over the course of my service in Ghana, however, I learned to see this world as one where those differences are primarily superficial. When we define people based solely on ...factors such as language, nationality, social status, or culture, we cheat ourselves from seeing that the essence of what makes us human transcends all borders. I am defined by many categories: I am a woman, a Native American, and an American citizen. But, my time overseas has shown me that first and foremost, I am a human with six billion relatives." - Praya Baruch (RPCV, Ghana), Choctaw Nation
