This support post for my friend, Ashleigh.
Ashleigh and I started the process of becoming Peace Corps Volunteers at about the same time, and were progressing through the stages somewhat synchronously. Ashleigh just found out she is going to be deferred for a year.
Ashleigh, you will make a great Peace Corps Volunteer and someday we will meet as RPCVs and talk late into the night about our experiences!
