NYC and Moot Court
I had just gotten back from NYC last night and have so much to say about it.
The experience of NYC came in so many way. I learned so much much in so many different aspects of life.
Politics. Yes. 2 Persians at a Jewish Orthodox school. Did I experience some biasness and racism Yes. Did I let that bother me? No of course not. I didn't even care.
I also learned that I can become a good attorney. That I have what it takes. We did that entire Moot court on our own, from the writing to the speaking to the arguing to the persuading. Did I feel gratified. So much so. I became stronger, I grew and I became more solid.
Going through that trip in its entirety was just solid.
I also roomed with a guy in my class who before the trip I didn't exactly find to be normal. I thought he was wierd. I thought he was gay. I just simply wasn't a fan and didn't mind voicing my opinion about him.
After getting out of some sort of lame relationship with A.H. This one guy in particular came into my life to make me relearn and regain focus on what exactly is "normal", "respectful' and "solid". There wasn't a door he didn't open, there wasn't a drink he didn't offer to pay for and there wasn't a time when he got annoyed with my attitude and there wasn't a time that he didn't ask to compromise at times of disagreement.
Politics. Strengthening my legal skills, and Regaining focus and what I need to search for. I need to search for someone who has the same qualities as this person, but on someone else. On someone who I am physically attracted to.
What a weekend of growth.
I am now a stronger, more independend, wiser and just plain Happier.
Thanks to the Jewish orthodox for making me wiser about politics, racism and biasness, Thanks Kording for believing in me for the trip. Thanks Phil for making me regain focus.
