"Everyone has a dumpster/a stumbling block they can't ignore/but to fight it makes you stronger/so next time you might stand/so come out of the dumpster/here, take a hold of my hand" --The Wedding Singer (musical)
I'm trying to breathe.
I just found out that my proposal for a public service fellowship advocating for healthier school lunches does not meet the direct client representation requirement. I've been working on the project since April. I just didn't understand what the requirement really entailed until I called up the fellowship people today and asked about my project directly. It's a no-go.
So where do I go from here? Do I take the next few weeks to quickly scramble a totally different project together? Do I scrap the idea of a public service fellowship completely and focus my job search on the public sector? Do I try to pitch my project to non-law fellowships? Do I rely completely on hopes and dreams and pray that Michelle Obama decides to take my project under her wing?
I don't know yet. Stay tuned.
