Summer in the city coming to a close!

[joyful_xo]

I can't believe it, but this is my last day at the New York State Division of Human Rights. I have been here for 11 weeks as a legal intern, investigating cases of alleged human rights violations. I have learned so much and my eyes have literally been opened to a whole new world of possibilities for my future. I never thought I would say it, but I

I am glad you had a good summer---I myself am wrapping up my internship next Friday. I've had a similar experience in terms of working in another city for the summer, and it has been just as eye-opening. I am looking forward to heading back home, and, as you said, just relaxing before school starts up again!

You already sound like a lawyer, Joy! I am impressed--if it were me, I would probably have so much trouble separating my emotions from the cases because I am very emotional, lol!

I loved reading this blog. I can at least live vicariously through my children's interesting lives. I am glad you had a chance to investigate those cases and it's hard to come to the conclusion that your guts are telling you one thing and the facts another. Good for you to look at this whole summer experience as eye opening! I am looking forward to your homecoming! Love, your biggest fan

LAW SCHOOL!

I’m very happy to see that you are law school is in the running! As I told you in person, I think you would be an exceptional addition to the legal profession. Remember: 1) you don't have to have a "passion for the legal world" to be a lawyer and 2) whether you believe it or not you do in fact have a "passion for the law." I saw that passion over 11 weeks as you interned at NYSDHR. A passion for the law is the same as a passion for what is "right." Your inner conflict with those two cases shows how much you care that ultimately the "right" thing happens. You know that Complainant's all over the world need someone like you on their side. You don't have to be in a court room to make a difference. I'll pray that you find the guidance you need... Rest assured, it will all work out; His plan has already been made and it WILL be perfect for you. It was a pleasure to have worked with you this summer.
