I was fortunate to
be a part of the Polaris Fellowship, which takes 9 individuals of all ages from
all parts of the world, and teaches them how to combat the issue of human
trafficking. Though we were all placed in different departments (I was in
communications), we spent majority of our time together. Human trafficking is
an intense topic, but one that we are all very passionate about. We would watch
tough documentaries and have the most amazing discussions afterwards, where I
really felt completely comfortable asking any questions. Besides exploring Polaris together, we went on
adventures throughout DC attending human trafficking awareness events on the
Hill, watching the Emancipation Day fireworks, and eating at every food truck
in the Farragut North area.
Besides building
strong friendships with the other fellows, I made it a priority to get coffee
with as many Polaris full time staffers as possible. After taking time to sit
down and get to know my coworkers, I felt so much more a part of the
organization. Everyone knew me and knew my story, just as I knew the staff
members and each of their stories. People appreciated the effort I made to get
to know everyone that I quickly became the go-to-fellow for organizing and
planning all projects and events involving the fellows. People trusted me and quickly gave me more
responsibilities around the office. I became so excited to go into work
everyday to see and talk with my coworkers.
My time at Polaris
has helped me develop a clearer vision of what my purpose is and what career
opportunities I wish to purpose in order to achieve that purpose. I am so
incredibly grateful for the lifelong friendships I have made with the other
fellows and coworkers. I’m already counting down the days until I can come back
to DC and visit!
