I ran into a girl I knew from High School today, while boarding the metro on the way to my internship in D.C. She is Islamic, and she's piling on a heavy school load including an internship of her own (which explains our coincidental colliding) and several extracurricular activities in order to divert her path from an immediate, parental-ordained marriage. Law school is her desired route, and she's galloping toward it. Go girl. Do it up. I admire every individual who follows through with thick-layered ambitions. And can confidently say, I'm beginning to do the same.
