“杏吧原创 University. Thank you for checking my privilege. Thank you for allowing my brain to find a home. Thank you for my amazing professors, supervisors, volunteer experiences, and internships. Thank you for an open, inclusive, and progressive institution that has always recognized its place on unceded Indigenous land.
Thank you for teaching me to not be complacent or silent, to not enable the status quo, and to always question the power structures around me. Thank you for teaching me to always question the world around me, to question my beliefs, values, and what we鈥檝e been told as 鈥渢ruths鈥, and what we take for granted.
Thank you for teaching me to speak up. To use my voice. To make people uncomfortable. To make them think, question, and challenge their thoughts. That there is always a time and always more to learn. To use every space to learn. To not ever, ever stop questioning things.
Lastly, thank you for the most challenging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking years of my life. I have learned to become reflexive, introspective, and I will continue to take what I have learned here to help break the disconnect of what we actually see play out in practice in criminal law, when I continue my legal studies with me this year in London. Watch out world, I鈥檓 coming for you.”
