Today was the first SEARCH (Southeast Asian Restoring Community Hope) National Conference. It was great meeting all these leaders and professionals. Each panelist discussed topics about basic needs, health, policy and advocacy, education, and cultural awareness among our community. I really like national conferences because it’s one of the few times I go up to people and shake their hands to say, “Hi, I’m Brittney, nice to meet you.” I collected plenty of business cards and I surely will get in touch with them sometime soon. Many offered me internship opportunities and I think it’s great being just a first year student. I think I might want to look into the Political Science major at Suffolk University.
