The moment was here — the email inviting me to join a CSC team. Hands tingling with excitement, I opened the email to find out that I have been assigned to the Bulgaria team. No word on who my teammates were or what we would be doing. First thing I did was to locate Bulgaria on a map ( sad state of my geography knowledge!). Once the news began to sink in, along with my excitement came nervousness — tasks I need to complete at work, things to take care of at home, security concerns, and million other small worries. But the paramount feeling was one of standing at the bottom of the hill and having been given a ticket to embark on this fantastic journey.

I am a software engineer at IBM and I want to capture all the moments in this once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of the IBM Corporate Service Corps teams.
