I asked a question the other day about feeling helpless, like none of the work I was doing was helping anyone: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=An02Cg3neYo3Ivh8lIm7nXTBFQx.;_ylv=3?qid=20080310214136AAqy5gi
The replies I got were really helpful. Since then, I've decided to apply to a long-term overseas project (basically, the Canadian equivalent to the Peace Corps)! My bf would go with me if I'm accepted and luckily he was really supportive when I mentioned it to him - which is why I hadn't brought it up before! So thanks to everyone for their answers.
Anyway, now I'm writing the application and I need to write 300 words about (A) why I want to volunteer with them and (B) how it would help me in my personal and professional goals.
I do NOT have a way with words! I know why in my head, but I can't get it onto paper. Any tips? Or places I can look for help on getting it out well? I've got writer's block!
Thanks for any help! I'm really excited about this. :o)
