I am coming to the end of my time as a McConnell Scholar, which has prompted some reflection on my part. The last four years have been great, and I have had some amazing opportunities come my way. I've had the opportunity to meet Chief Justice John Roberts, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Speaker of the House John Boehner, Senator Scott Brown, Senator John McCain, and, of course, Senator Mitch McConnell. My time spent in China this past summer will always be a highlight of my life.
However, there will be time later for reflection. Now I must focus on the future. Like Ben S., I am working on my undergraduate Senior Honors Thesis. I have also applied to a number of law schools, and I have been accepted to two so far. I would advise anyone looking to apply to law school in the future to apply early. It is a load off your mind when all your applications are submitted and the decision then is out of your hands. I know I speak for most of the Class of 2012 when I say that this last semester has so far been an odd transitional period between our undergraduate and graduate careers. It is a strange but necessary transition as we take what we have learned at UofL and as part of the McConnell Center out into the "real" world.
