It's a New Day..

 Today, I woke up with a more positive attitude than I did yesterday. I called all the places I had applied to whether through the internship bazaar or the internship database website. Ms. Beverly Miller at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said that they were only accepting law students for the internship positions currently. Ms. Kathy Coates at the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (LCCRL). Mr.Lippert of the National Association for Criminal Defense Lawyers' (NACDL) never returned my calls and this time my calls also went to voicemail. I emailed Mr. Tegeler at the Poverty & Race Research Action Council and was told that my application would get reviewed and they would contact me in the coming days to set up and interview. Lastly, I contacted Mr. Adam Lee at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and he told me that he would review my application and call me back within the next 10 minutes. About 15 minutes later Mr. Lee contacted me and told my that my resume was extensive and very impressive and that he would like to interview me on Friday but I would need to bring a letter of recommendation. So, I ecstatically accepted the chance to interview with him and told him that I would have a letter of recommendation for him on Friday.

Today I saw first hand how the epitome of a quote by my favorite poet and laureate Maya Angelou," If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." That's exactly what I did. I changed my outlook and approach to my internship search and I was able to land another interview.
