If I could use one word to describe the last few weeks with CAUSE it would be “grateful.” I am grateful for the opportunity to learn about the different facets of the Asian American experience, for the chance to improve myself as a leader, for all the amazing people I have met and have yet to meet, and most importantly for being constantly empowered and inspired as an Asian American to create change in areas I am most passionate about. Without the program, this whole week of opportunities and exposure would be nearly impossible.
