Aspirational Statement

I just finished my resume and aspirational statement. Those were pretty tough to narrow down what expereiences to include, or what exactly to say. Most of the questions read something like list "all professional and volunteer experience relevant to your proposed assignment..." I do know what, in vague description, I will do on a daily basis, but how to I verbalize my past life experiences that I believe will aid me in the Peace Corps. Once I am serving, I'll be able to list more than enough information; because I will know more in depth what my job will consist of.

In any case, here is my answer to the final section of the aspirational statement. This part asked "how (do) you think Peace Corps service will influence your personal and professional aspirations after your service ends."

My answer:
If I had not decided to join the Peace Corps, and was not accepted to serve, I would have pursued a position as a federal law enforcement officer, or a state police officer. I have worked since 2003 as a bounty hunter, pursuing criminals across state lines, and returning them to Oklahoma to face charges in the court of law. I earned a degree in Criminal Justice, and own a private investigation/armed security agency. This has been the only career path that I have had any interest in for almost 10 years now. I have always wanted to help people that are in need, and have used my positions of leadership in my communities to do so. Joining the Peace Corps has been a dream of mine since 2003, and I decided that I should follow this dream at this point in my life; before I begin a career in law enforcement. The only variable that I cannot account for in this plan is how much serving the Peace Corps will change my values, or core motivation in life. I am open to the idea that I may decide after service that volunteer or humanitarian work is exactly what I want to spend my life doing. It is also possible that I decide to pursue international politics in an effort to aid the people of the world; or I may even want to return to the United States and continue my original plans of a career in law enforcement. I expect the next 27 months in Mozambique will have a huge impact on my life, but at this point I do not know how great the impact will be. So, post-service, I will have to see where life takes me based on the changes I experience during service and decide at that time what the next chapter in my life will be.
