This week at Equality has been more melancholy than most. Most of our legal aid interns, and Jaya, the intern from the Cleveland foundation I worked with had their last weeks. Most of the major meetings were saying goodbye to the interns which made me feel a little out of place. It was sad seeing some people go because I had grown to know them this summer. At the advocacy meeting this week I got to present my power maps of cities that I researched. It felt great showing all my heard work (despite my WIFI struggles that made it difficult to call). While this was not a total wrap up week it truly does feel like the beginning of the end of a wonderful experience. This next week I am continuing to dive into some cities for power mapping, just to brush it up, as well as wrapping up some other ongoing projects.

This last week was also fun as I got to bond more with the fellows. It was really nice getting to know them better and hear about their awesome summer experiences. Going to my first crew game was also a lot of fun (even though we left early due to weather). I can’t believe the summer is almost over, this has flown by. I know I have said that in previous blog posts and I will say it in next weeks but I really cannot emphasize how quickly this summer has gone by.

Lastly a random question from someone who isn’t from the area. Why do y’all drive so aggressive? What is the rush? I get we have places to be but the most stressful thing I have done this summer has been rush our driving into and out of the city. However,  have fallen in love with Columbus and can’t wait to explore it more.
