"Let the world change you and you could change the world."
Hola! My name is Lizzie Greer! I am about to embark on the biggest journey of my life, and I want you to join me! But first, let me tell you a bit about myself...
This is me!! I am 22 years old, and I am from Boone, North Carolina. I have a mom, a dad, a sister, 2 brothers, a dog, and 3 cats! I come from a biggggg family! I love all sports, and my favorite team is the Carolina Tarheels because I went to college at UNC. While I was at UNC, I studied Spanish. Do you have Spanish class at your school? It has always been my favorite subject!
When I was studying Spanish, I decided to travel to a country where they only spoke Spanish so that I could practice. I went and lived in Mexico for 5 months. My Spanish improved a lot, and I had the time of my life making great friends and eating delicious food! This is my favorite picture of the city where I lived in Mexico.
When I returned from Mexico, I realized how much I loved traveling; meeting new people, living in different cultures, seeing beautiful places. The more places I visited, the more I began to feel connected to all the other people in the world. This made me be a kinder, more compassionate person, treating each person I met with respect and appreciation.
Now I am about to leave for another trip to another country. But this one is a little bit different. On February 9th, I will be moving for 2 YEARS to the country of Paraguay in South America! I will be working for the United States Peace Corps, and my main job will be to promote world peace and friendship.
I want you and your school to follow me in my experiences! I want to teach you about Paraguay and the Peace Corps. I want to show you my home there, and I want to introduce you to the friends I will make. I also want to meet you and learn about your lives wherever you are!
I have traveled, made friends, and taught children around the world with the hopes that I can bring happiness and peace to everyone I meet. I have let my world change me so that I can change the world.
How has your world changed you? How can you change the world?
Buenos Dias!
