1001 Goals for my Next Two Years

Peace Corps has laid out some very important and serious goals for volunteers in Tonga to complete during their service: These include everything from the longterm big scale objectives like creating mutual cultural understanding between Americans and Tongans, to the small(and still important improvements) like increasing resources at local schools. I plan on spending my next two years working full heartedly towards these goals to the best of my ability.

Of course while in the process, I also plan on having a lot of laughs and a ton of fun. So I've begun working on a list of "personal" goals that I hope to continue to fill with projects in the upcoming months.

In no particular order:

Goal # 394 Choreograph a Dance to the Tongan Techno Pop Hit "Falaite"
To be performed at a Mormon mixer.
Goal #472 Become a Street Pingpong Champion.
Yes Sander. I'm practicing.
Goal #121 Maintain a Tune While Singing Tongan Bible Hymns at Sunday Church
This could be extremely difficult for someone who previously only sang in the privacy of her own car (drowned out by the radio)
Goal #272 Master Bush Survival Skills
i.e Crack open a coconut with my bare hands, start a fire without matches...etc

Goal #629 Muster up the Courage to Dive under Swallow's Cave
A right of passage as a volunteer here on Vava'u
Goal #548 Weave my own Beach Hat
This will require both learning to weave and becoming relatively skilled at it.

More goals to come....
