Over Fall Break, I had the change to travel to Los Angeles with my Modern Day Slavery class. It was such an incredible experience, and I have so much to write about it but I'll try to keep it simple. The first day, we had a free day and were able to head to Santa Monica. We dipped our toes in the Atlantic Ocean, went shopping at the Third Street Promenade, and ate dinner at the end of the Santa Monica Pier. I was even able to go to lunch in Malibu with one of my best guy friends from High School!
Over the next two days, we really delved into our study of Human Trafficking. Tuesday morning we went to the Museum of Tolerance which focuses on genocide around the world especially from the Holocaust. That afternoon we met with Ima Matul and Maria Suarez. They're stories are absolutely incredible and most definitely life changing. That night we got to wander down Hollywood Boulevard looking at the Star Walk and the Chinese Theater.
Wednesday morning we had free time to walk around downtown Los Angeles. After eating lunch at the top of the court building, we took a tour of the LAPD and had the chance to speak with the Human Trafficking Task Force.
Going to Los Angeles, was one of the best life experiences I've had so far. It really reinforced my desire to pursue a career in Forensic Science and to work in the Justice System.
Love,
