Me to 16 yr old client: your case will be dismissed and sealed in 6 months provided you have no new arrests.
Client: oh no, I never want to come back here. never ever. I want to go to law school one day!
Me: you'll be just fine! good luck in school... *an hour later after case has been called & client has been released*
Client: Ms., can I ask you a question when you get a chance?
Me: sure. let me wrap up the rest of my cases.
Client: no problem... *10 minutes later*
Me: so you had a question?
Client: *nervously twisting his hands together* Ms., I know this looks bad since I just got arrested & all, but I never met a lawyer who is brown like me. My parents never went to college. I have a good GPA, and I want to be a lawyer one day. Can I apply for an internship? I understand if you say no.
Me: *fighting back tears* keep my card and please stay in touch. would love to help you out!

I hope it encourages readers, especially those who haven’t...
