GENRE: BIOGRAPHY/AUTOBIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR

H. Lynn Beck had no clue what to do after two years of agricultural study at the university. He felt he was not learning anything and he was bored with the time he spend on his family’s Nebraska crop farm. On a whim, he joined the Peace Corps—that was a decision that would affect the rest of his life. He was sent to Puerto Rico for training. After three weeks of Spanish training, he was sent to rural Puerto Rico along for survival training. The training was intense from 7:00 a.m. to 10 p.m., six days a week.
