The high volume of cases, even after we closed intake for the summer, along with the amount of turnover (not uncommon for nonprofits, though exceptionally concentrated in this instance) made for a somewhat hectic summer, though it also meant I was given a great amount of responsibility and productive, satisfying work to do, for which I was very grateful, and I am proud of what I accomplished. I particularly enjoyed being able to work directly with our clients, nearly all of whom were wonderfully polite, respectful, and grateful for our assistance, and carried with them incredible stories of hardship and perseverance. Additionally, the staff at [Refugee Services of Texas] were universally dedicated, hardworking, and as inspiring as the clients they served. It was a singularly rewarding experience and I am grateful to RST and to Equal Justice America for helping make it possible.
