Seven years ago I was halfway through my (one and only) year working at Northwestern Mutual, a great company, but not a place I wanted to be stuck for life.  Instead I started looking into escape plans.  Always in the back of my mind was serving with Americorps and thus it was the first place I turned.  I set my sights high and skipped right over the team member application for NCCC and went for team leader.  Obviously I was one step ahead of myself, while I was grated an interview, that's where the story ended, until now.  I took a seven year detour to teach, live, explore and absolutely fall in love with the other side of the world, but now I'm back.  While I'm getting ready for this adventure I decided to share it all with you, so  how was it that I came back to the somewhat forgotten dream...
