The Social Justice Internship program will always be one of the biggest highlights of my undergraduate experience at Loyola. Because of the SJI program, I got to meet incredible human beings, including the other SJI interns, the residents at PEP, and the man who runs it all, Andrew Miller. Because of the SJI program, I got to step out of my comfort zone and do something new and impactful in my community. Because of the SJI program, I learned so much about what true leadership looks like, how communities can improve and grow, and the different social justice issues that exist in society. Because of the SJI program, I have truly grown in so many aspects of my life. Although the transformative experience of being a SJI is over, the memories that I created with the residents at Misericordia and my SJI family will always have a very special place in my heart.
