Well it's been a few months since my last post, but a lot has happened in my life! As I indicated in my previous post, I have had this constant hunger for more adventures and for following my heart- the gushy dream stuff you know?! Towards the end of this past semester I was looking at all my job prospects and nothing really jumped out to me. I have contacts with Hilti, a great company in the construction industry, but no other offers or options would be bringing me to Latin America doing what I really love to do.
By grand design, I believe, Craig Brammer from Thunderbird for Good reached out directly to me and asked that I apply to the Farmer-to-Farmer internship. I knew about this internship the whole time, but because it was only 6 months long and it only paid a small stipend I figured that it might not be the best option for a business school grad with huge school loans. Nonetheless, the nature of the situation made it very clear that I would be a fool not to accept this offer, being that it was made to me after I rapped at Americas Regional night. I figured that if this offer came my way only after displaying sheer Connorness, it was meant to be.
I've been in Peru for 1 month now and my mind continues to be blown! This experience has been so amazing thus far and it really feels like everything happens for a reason. Here I am doing what I dreamed of doing just a year and a half ago. I'm already doing it! My thinking now is that I need to completely embrace this experience and not look back. When following your dream you can't have any doubt that you will fail, because if you do doubt your life will be horrible. Believe me, I know from experience! I have faith that the money will come when you follow your passion. That's what they say at least! During this 6 month project I am going to be on the hunt for any other possible options that could come my way. I know they're out there.
