This has been a wonderful, but exhausting, semester for me. Some of the peaks include meeting Vice President Joe Biden, being intrigued by philosophical leadership debates in Dr. Gregg's class, and simply having intellectual and comical conversations with everyone in the center.
The only disappointment from the program this semester is Dr. Kleber's retirement. He is a true inspiration to everyone, and I am deeply saddened that he is leaving after I have only known him for such a short time. But I know that he will still visits us, and hopefully I will see him at future retreats and camping trips. His essence will forevermore be present in the center if one just glances at the replica of the Thomas Walker House that causes us scholars to regurgitate repressed memories from McConnell Retreat 2010.
After this rough semester, I am looking forward to an exciting summer. After going home and seeing family and friends, I will be doing an internship at the Kentucky ACLU here in Louisville. Alongside that, I will be taking a few summer classes. Afterwards, I am excited for another semester with the program (and hopefully many more after that).
