There are many "hard parts" for me to have been able to adapt to in a poverty-stricken village of 1,400 people one, certainly, would be having digestive track movements with no available toilet paper. No doubt if you volunteer for the Peace Corps, you may not have a choice as to exactly what you will be doing in your chosen country, but if Holloway had known she would be assisting a midwife rather than planting trees, she may have opted for more training in the healthcare field.
