Do I qualify for the Peace Corps with certain legal issues in my past?


Dating back to my younger years, I have dreamt of having the privilege of joining the Peace Corps. I shall be a graduate in June 2009 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology. Other Qualifications:
* Having spent two years assisting and observing in a Communication Disorders clinic.
* I have been a part of a community service organization for the past five years, having held the position of Vice President and head of Community Service Activities. During this time I have organized and been the leader of HIV/Aids awareness projects, organized conferences regarding women's health issues(breast/cervical cancer), and donating to various women's shelters.
* I am CPR certified.
* I have spent six summers working closely with ESL students. Assisting them with their group/school projects and putting together math, reading, and writing workbooks.
* I am not fluent in Spanish, but have been raised in a Spanish speaking household, as well as having two years of Spanish classes under my belt.
My problem? Two and a half years ago I made the dumbest decision I've ever made. I went and received a reckless driving charge. I regret this with all my heart and soul, wishing everday I could just take it back. However, I truly believe that my past mistake and ignorant decision has helped me to make wiser decisions today, and that I have learned from it.
I realize that Reckless Driving doesn't count as a felony, and on the Peace Corps Application it said that one year must pass in order for one to be considered (almost three years has past). I suppose my question is this: Taking the qualifications listed above into account, what are my chances of still being accepted into the Peace Corps Program? I truly appreciate all of your help! THANK YOU!!!

I think you might even be over qualified for the peace corps, and they probably won't care about reckless driving.
Good luck.
