Hey,

So tonight was my first night working at the clinic. I thought it was a really unique and interesting experience, and I enjoyed spending time there. I also understood more Spanish than I thought I would (when Adolfo came in), which was really exciting for me.

Right when we got there I sat in on a meeting between Carly and a tenant named Annette. Carly was helping Annette find a new one-bedroom apartment off of Craigslist. We find her some options and then sent a few emails to get her started. Then I sat in on Adolfo's counseling as well as Bob's. I felt terrible for Bob. He came in and sounded so sad and defeated. I didn't really hear his story, but I understand he is in a really tight financial situation. I think he could use some fresh-baked cookies.

I also really enjoyed the discussion we got into at Stonehurst. Environmental justice is definitely a complicated issue, so it was interesting to hear different takes on it. It was a good day.

Goodnight,
Maddie
