Earlier this evening, I got the chance to attend a mixer with Rose House Fellows, and I had a great time. Vice President Lombardi, Thomas, and I got the chance to have dinner before the mixer, and we spoke at length about quite a few things. Specifically, we spoke about changing the world. I had shared my story of speaking to my advisor about wanting to become an attorney that changed the landscape of the criminal justice system. When I had told my advisor, I had undermined myself saying, “I know this sounds cliche and dumb, but…” My advisor had stopped me and told me not to think like that. That you can change things on a small scale too, through everyday interactions and the daily connections you make. VP Lombardi agreed saying that it’s all about one person at a time in order to facilitate larger movements of change. I also enjoyed the mixer, as I spoke with Judge Miller about some of his recent cases as well as what he finds to be so fulfilling about his job. This evening was exciting because I got the chance to meet so many different people who were not only very friendly but who also made me think in a more positive light about my future and the world.
