>> Hello my fellow Californians,
>>
>> I would like to share some sad but exciting news with you all. At the end 
>> of  June, I was admitted to the University of Michigan Law School, which 
>> is ranked as one of the top ten law schools  in the country! I had been 
>> waitlisted there and had been really hoping to get in, and I was 
>> overjoyed after receiving a phone call from the Dean letting me know that 
>> I was admitted! I have committed to attending the U of M in the fall, 
>> which means I will be having to leave California at the end of August.
>>
>> I'm really excited to be going to such a fantastic school and nervous to 
>> be starting this intense program, but sad to be leaving CABS, the NFBC, 
>> and all of my friends here at home both in the NFB and without. I have 
>> enjoyed so much being a part of this affiliate and being on the CABS 
>> board. Our student board has done such an amazing job this year, and I am 
>> proud to have been part of such a hard-working, dedicated, and motivated 
>> group. I am now ready to pass the presidency on to the next board and 
>> president.
>>
>> I am planning on working in Washington, D.C. after law school if it works 
>> out. I had such an amazing experience there from January to May interning 
>> for Senator Dodd on the Hill, and I love DC so much. So I don't know if I 
>> will be permanently back in California or not. However, I will still be 
>> interning in Cali one summer and maybe doing a Fellowship or something 
>> after law school if I can, hopefully for Disability Rights Advocates. So 
>> I'm sure I will still be able to attend some state conventions from time 
>> to time, and I will of course be seeing many of you at national 
>> conventions! I will still be part of the NFBC list for a while, so please 
>> stay in touch and get my email if you would like to write every now and 
>> then.
>>
>> Thank you so much for all the support and love you all have given me in 
>> the NFBC and in CABS. I'm going to really miss my California family. Now, 
>> I am going to begin preparing for this next chapter of my life!
>>
>> Warmly,
>>
