My internship is still not completely done. I will be starting a club that has to do with Law Day. In this club we will learn about your rights, jury duty, obligations, proper court language, mock trials, have guest speakers specifically lawyers, and help upcoming juniors who want to pursue a career in law get law internships. We want to start this as an afterschool club and then hopefully turn it into a 6th period. This is going to be sort of like an all year project because we want to run the club all of next year. We proposed our internship idea at our last staff meeting and all the lawyers seemed to love it. They said that we can count on them for anything and ask them questions if we are ever need help. Its great to have their support and I know that with their help we can create a club that will really benefit the students of High Tech High. At fist we didn't know what we wanted to do for our project because we felt like the City Attorney office had everything under control. Glen Googins which is the current City of Chula Vista Attorney who is our second mentor actually gave us the idea of starting a club. H has always had the dream of creating something that will influence the younger generation and hopefully inspire them to pursue a career in law. He just doesn't have the time to do this so he thought that with our help he could make this dream of his possible. I have always wanted to start a club but never knew what type of cub I should start. I will not only be help the City Attorney with his dream but also making my dream a reality. I want this club to start at High Tech but later travel to other High Tech Highs and maybe even travel to all of the school in the Sweetwater Union High School District. I think this club would be an awesome addition to our school. We would run it for a year but then pass it on to other student after we graduate, It would be a great feeling knowing that I left a piece of me at High Tech. It would be so awesome to come back an visit High Tech once I'm in college and see that my club is still there. It would be the coolest thing ever to say " Wow I started this!"
