Relearning an important lesson

14/07/2009 by heatherawsumb

Today I had the realization that I need to learn an important lesson all over again. As a Peace Corps Volunteer you get those two words drilled into your head during training: patience and flexibility. On my first day, attending a workshop not directly related to my duties felt like a great way to ease-in to my job. By the third hour of the second day I’m starting to feel anxious. I want to get to work. I want to talk with the person I’m replacing so I can start to get a concrete idea of what needs to be done. I want to stop learning and start doing. I don’t want to be sitting in this room listening to somebody talk at me …
And then I remember where I am and that things here move at a different pace. I have time and everything will come together when it needs to. Patience and flexibility.
