I am sure when I take more classes, these interests may change.","208":"I am a member of the Women's Law Caucus, a member of Phi Alpha Delta, and a Barbri class representative. ","209":"At Susquehanna University, I was a member of the Habitat for Humanity Club which worked on service projects in the local community. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as an intern for 1 and a half years at a local courthouse, I was a note-taker for my classes, and worked \"security\" at our on-campus gym. During my summers, I worked as a lifeguard and progressed to become the Assistant Aquatics Director of the pool I worked at. This included creating a schedule, reacting quickly and efficiently to problems that would arise, and communicating with members. ","210":"The thing I like most about Widener Law Commonwealth is simple \u2013 the people. I began my Widener journey through TAP during the summer of 2021. While that experience was entirely remote, it did not take long to gauge that the professors were passionate about what they taught and that the genuinely wanted to see students succeed. This feeling was affirmed during my first week at Widener and I believe that it something that is truly unique to the school. Widener truly embodies the \u201cfamily\u201d feel through the people. Professors and faculty are constantly willing to go out of their way to help students be successful \u2013 whether that means reexplaining part of a lecture, reading sample exams, or holding exam conferences. The professors truly care about the students they teach. Throughout my first semester, it was clear that the professors wanted to get to know the students \u2013 both inside and outside of the classroom \u2013 and likewise, they wanted us to know them. Being a first-generation law student, this experience is new to me and my professors have truly helped to make the path I am on a little smoother. The students also make Widener Commonwealth an excellent experience. My classmates support each other, rather than tare each other down. As a class, we want to see everyone do their best and when someone is struggling, someone is always willing to speak up. Lastly, I really enjoy the small campus feeling. I like knowing wherever I go on campus, whether that be in the Pit or in the library, I will see at least one familiar face. "}
