Mid-Summer Eve

Testing, Testing, 1,2,3

Is this thing still on??

Hey world, Im back. Sorry for the delay, but I really did not want to bore you with the going's on of me, over the past few months considering they were not law school related. I am going to try my best to keep this blog strictly relevant to the shennagians of a law school student. So with that being said, lets back up for a quick recap and then move forward from there.


1)Since we last spoke in April, I finished my time as a long term teacher in Clayton County Georgia. The time spent teaching American government was really wonderfual and a true insight into the minds of young people and what it is I want to do for the rest of my life. I now am more certain then ever that I have a passion for helping young (especially minority men) find a path to upliftment in their life. I have come to realize more then ever that they need positive role models. They need to see a succesfull young black man that hasnt been to jail, or has two baby mamas, or sells drugs. So yeah I will continue to try to set a good example.

2) I have officially made the move to Chicago. Actually I made the move to Chicago about a month and a half ago. To be technical I'm actually living in the suburbs of Chicago up in North Chicago, but same difference right. I am spending the summer working in the AmeriCorp program. Yeah that AmeriCorp, im working with a non-profit called YouthBuild. I could go into a lot of detail about what I do and what the program does, but I wont. I will say that they focus on getting low-income and at risk youth a GED and job skills so that they can enter the work force. My Time here at a non-profit has been...eye-opening to say the least, and a good experience to have. It is definetely going to look good on my resume once it is time to update it.

3) Last but not least, I am here to update because tomorrow I will be moving into "The Den". Yes I finally got my own place in the city of Chicago. Also I have a couple of deadlines for the school that are coming up so ill be updating on that as well.

So in short: I am here in Chicago, I am tying up some loose ends for the start of term, and I am exploring my new city. You will hear more about these adventures as they come in. So yes it is time to go ahead and tune back into "3YUTP" cause I will be posting more regularly again. Enjoy, and I hope all has been well.
