The Peace Corps represents in a lot of ways me trying to fight against the growing sense that the world I live in crumbling around me. We live on an enormous organic spaceship that is composed of wondrous natural environment’s, diverse and fascinating cultures, and gorgeous human settlements. However, as I have looked further into the workings of this planet, I have been confronted by the fact that there is an uncountable amount of terrible things being done to the people, environment’s, and wildlife that perpetuates over and over again. Given this grim reality, I have taken it upon myself to dedicate my life to trying to help insert positivity and good vibes into my surroundings, and I feel that applying for the Peace Corps is me taking a leap into exponentially growing that process. I fight not just for environmental balance, or for the injustices done to the innocent, but to balance the scales of existence itself. Regardless of where I go, or what I do, I will fight tooth and nail to ensure that goodness comes from my involvement, both in attitude and effort. The world has too many people who are complicit in not getting involved in trying to make the world better. I wish to be a part of the movement that sees that and moves the other way. I don’t just evaluate the paths by the amount of people traveling by them, I go off the road and find my own unique way. I don’t just settle, I push to progress and create better situations. If confronted by adversity, I don’t just mindless rush into the battle. Rather I evaluate and find the best possible, nonviolent route that leads to the greatest possible amount of good will and benefit. When I run into a wall, I don’t just go around, climb over, or knock it down. I find out why that wall was built in the first place, and put efforts into ensuring that the significance is respected, and its effects are mitigated to those who suffer the effects the strongest. The structure of this world was not made to just be arbitrarily broken down and chaotically undermined, but to be carefully and peacefully changed until every possible version of sentient being can exist peacefully and happily on this world. I love everyone that has ever existed. It sounds far-fetched and unrealistic, but I feel that until you can fully appreciate every version of consciousness and feeling that exists, you are farther away from understanding yourself that you could ever realize. To the person reading this, yes, this includes you. This statement includes every person that you have met today, those who you know, and those you don’t. I want to use this love to help others, and if I didn’t put efforts like this into my life than this ability would be wasted, in my opinion.

Anyway, thank you. I hope you consider my application with the seriousness that I put into writing it.
