Crisp fall at Dominican

I would say things at Dominican have been pretty busy these past two weeks! Mid terms are coming to a close but that means that we are headed towards the end of fall semester. The weeks are going by really fast.
I have a lot coming up, for starters I am studying for the LSAT which I will be taking in December. I am also planning on taking the GRE's so I can apply to PhD programs upon graduation.
I am also becoming an activist! It's pretty empowering, I recently participated in the MAWS march (Marin Abuse Women's Services). I got to help lead the rally chants and speak using the megaphone, it was so much fun and I think one of the most important things I have ever done up until this point in my college career. I am really happy to be a part of the Dominican Grrls group we marched together and rallied in hopes that one day domestic violence is something that will not be apart of any one's life. San Rafael has many opportunities to promote community activism and service.
I am currently in my senior year here at Dominican and am applying for a position to work with the future mayor of Fairfax as a job shadow. I think the position would be very beneficial for me because I would like to be an activist in the field of women's politics.
I hope that everyone realizes how much power they hold within their voice and takes active steps for the things that they value the most.

Until next time take care and enjoy the remainder of October.
