Yes, two weeks as a Legal intern in the 'Dirty Dirty' and I am loving every moment of it . My sincere apologies for not getting on facebook for awhile, I cannot access the world of social networking from my computer at the courthouse. However give me a few weeks and I will be on the old 'book' again with my new laptop.
Wow! I can't believe it, I still have to pinch myself to know that I am back in Georgia!!! Having left Atlanta last weekend, I have officially began my job as an intern for Judge Beam at the Chatham County Juvenile Court. And it has been extremely crazy but a lot of fun! Sometimes...I wonder if it's right for me to say that working on child abuse/ child deliquancy cases are 'fun'. Ok, well it's interesting to say the least.
To be honest this place breaks my heart. Having to sit day in and day out listening to the plight of children and teenager can be very hard to stomach and one must have tough skin. Yet one must have tough skin and a tender heart. Imagine having to hear excuses from mother's regarding why they shot their own child or why there child has been sexually abused by a family member. Ugh! But, God is doing a work within me...I really think I want to pursue being a child attorney. I don't really care for corporate litigation or commericial disputes, I feel my calling is right here with juvenile cases.
I've seen kids as young as 12 wearing jumpsuits and chains round their hands and feet. No, my conviction will not allow me to pursue the wealth of capitalistic companies who constantly argue over "who stole which brand name from whom". God is really doing a work within me.
Savannah is a beautiful city I must say. I will have pictures very soon! Right, now I will soon begin to learn the role as a guardian ad litem ( An individual (often a lawyer) appointed to represent the best interests of a child or incapacitated person for the purpose of a legal procedure) and I will soon begin working on cases regarding children who may have been abused.
Yes, I must say I love it out here! I still don't know where God will have me in the next few years to come but wherever it will be I know it's a good place. Will I be married soon? Who knows? I'm not counting on it though. I do want to have a family of my own one day As well as run in out of court cases all day. However, the Lord knows that all things are possible with Him. I just need to take one step at a time.
In Christ
