Life decisions come in many shapes and sizes. Some you dive head first into; others are very thought out and calculated. I am a more dive head in kind of girl. I dove into getting my first piercing, I dove into journalism, I jumped at the chance to go to London when I was 19. But for once in my life I think the pool may just be a bit to shallow for me to dive in head first. The Peace Corp is 27 months of my life given up to serving others which I have no problems with in fact I would love that but it is also 27 months away from my family.
So to help me with this I have come up with a list of Pros and Cons.
The Pros
I can make a difference in the world
I will get to see the world
I will have the chance to clear my head
27 months of doing good
full health care that lasts 18 months after discharge
a little over $ 6000 upon discharge
meet new people
Learn loads of new things.
The Cons
Out of school
Away from family for 27 months
Away from friends for 27 months.
No connections overseas.

I love the imagery of a pool too shallow to dive in. And I like how you listed the pros and cons. You still haven't embedded two related links into the list here, though.
