Class of 2003
Lael H.
"After graduation I came back to Alaska for a few months and
just worked and relaxed, and had friends up to visit. Then in
the fall I went to Tunisia for 4 months where I studied Arabic
and did an internship for the UN. It was interesting, but a
very difficult time to be there. I came back in the spring,
and since March I've been working for a law firm here in [Alaska]
as a paralegal. I've learned a lot about law and am thinking
about going to law school."

I went to Europe with my parents and sister for 2 weeks after

for [a friend's] graduation festivities. I actually got a job
at [the elementary school] where YGC was on the news (during
our 2004 Spring Tour in Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina)!
I'm the Volunteer Coordinator and LOVING it! And I'm studying
for the LSAT, and that's going really well!"

Benita J. and Richard R.
Congratulations to Benita and Richard, who are first year students at Georgetown
Law School. Richard R. writes, "At the beginning of the semester (Spring 2005), Benita
was inspired to organize a Bible study and gospel ensemble for students
here. Never before has Gtown law center had a gospel ensemble. We are a group of 12 or so members, and after rehearsing for just one
month we had our debut performance at the prayer breakfast of the 2005
first annual black law students association's alumni conference. We sang
"Receive Our Praise" and "Sing Praises to Thee." Benita's mom came to
town to play the piano for us, and Benita herself soloed with her violin
during the first song. We were WELL received! Many noted how much they were deeply moved, encouraged,
and inspired by our singing....to the point of tears! A partner for a
major corporate firm has invited the group to sing at their firm. How
awesome is our God?!? We are so excited about potential this ministry
will have both on campus and in the legal community...can you imagine,
a gospel ensemble singing for a community that cringes at the mere name
of God and His salvation plan! We know YGC shares our love for ministry, which is why i'm sharing this
experience with you. Know that YGC's influence remains alive and is breaking
new ground!"
