This week has been one very eventful week. With my first flight only a couple days away, my mind has begun to worry. I am currently in the Iowa House Hotel (which to my surprise was actually quite nice!) participating in a very rigorous, skill building, intensive and networking frenzy program called N.E.W. Leadership program. I am truly honored to be surrounded by wonderful, brilliant, and ambitious women for an entire 5 days. I have been inspired to the max and I have been reaffirmed of my personal awesomeness every minute of the day. The encouragement that I receive from this program truly makes me feel like I could be on top of the world!<\/p>\n
Today we had the honor to meet Iowa’s first female Supreme Court Chief Justice. Marsha Ternus really reinforced what I believed was lurking in my head for awhile. I should go to law school! Now, I am not sure if I am on conference high but I think that is definitely in my future. How cool is that? In reference to Ternus, she is kind of a big deal! \ud83d\ude00 She was totally down to earth, very personal, and human. I loved her and her story.<\/p>\n
To learn more about this program contact Women’s Resource and Action Center<\/a> through their website or\u00a0Facebook\u00a0page. And if you are one for the easy way, leave me a comment and I would love to share with you more about my experience within the program.<\/p>\n As for now, I am exhausted and need to get some serious sleep. I have an early morning tomorrow. We have a group project that we have to present and I need to wake up early and do some solo preparation. We will be proposing legislation to the “Public Safety Committee ” about state wide air pollution alert systems. I can’t wait!<\/p>\n And for a preview of what will be going on in my life:<\/p>\n Friday Night: Back to my hometown This week has been one very eventful week.
