Hello guys! I hope you all are doing well.
As our country continues to try to optimistically move forward while trying to flatten the corona-virus, and are hoping for the best outcome until our country gets back to normal, I hope you are all safe from the corona-virus which is still active within our country.

Although the experience of deadly virus 🦠 has taught us how to reprioritize our lives a little better, some folks are now able to do their work from home to spend more time with their families. And the bright side of the experience has forced some folks who aren’t use to using technology, finally learn how to use technology which also help with social distance. And I am happy that you guys are still optimistic to share the Harvard law school experience to your viewers like me.

I love watching the Harvard Law school videos because no matter how many times I watch each video clip, one video clip is never enough. I get the opportunity to enjoy hearing the different stories from folks who are from different walks of life talk about their life changing experiences. No doubt I can relate to anyone who is as passionate about the law as I am.

Also, your campus is a beautiful campus. And the state of Boston and Cambridge, MA is a wonderful environment as well. I remember the first time I visited. I actually set aside my vacation to experience the environment. And the first place I wanted to visit was me Harvard law school. And I did.

As I was walking with my Harvard law school tour group, and we walked almost the whole campus, I closed my eyes a little to pictured myself as a happy Harvard law school student. In my imagination I pictured myself talking with students about the understanding of how the elements of the law governs facts of a situation. Sharing different perspective of the law and facts. Picturing myself setting in the classrooms ready to learn how to think about the law differently. If anyone has ever imagined their favorite places to go, I’m sure they can relate to me. I hope to one revisit the beautiful environment.
