People have a whole lot to say about the service year. Some say it is the best time of their lives, for some, it is the worst. It is either the beginning of a whole new life or a total waste of time but one thing is certain, I intend to make this journey of mixed emotions as memorable as possible. In the place I call home, after graduating college, you have to spend a year serving the country before officially joining the ever-growing work force. This piece is my experience, as beautifully as I can picture it. For those who don't have this opportunity in their country, you are welcome to my world. For those who have gone through the scheme, enjoy the trip down memory lane. Get your popcorn, tissues might come in handy too. Relax. Life as a Youth Corps member is a sea of emotions; fun, sour, daring, annoying and sometimes downright depressing. I am on this roller-coaster ride seemingly cruising all the way but I am learning the hard way, trust me. At the end of the day, I believe it is entirely up to you to make it the best it can be and as I mentioned earlier, I am definitely making my story an interesting one.
