Thank you for the grace and resilience that you have shown in these daunting times. You are entering our profession at a tipping-point moment where our shared responsibilities and collective pain have made even clearer that we do not live only for ourselves. We are connected to each other, and what we do for others we do for ourselves. There is power and possibility in that collective recognition. Use it to narrow the space between what is and what ought to be, when equal access to justice finally is made available to all.

Your emerging proficiency has been hard-earned. Use it to transform the world as you find it into the world that you wish for it to be. You have been vested with a fortitude of heart (your goodness is known) and a mightiness of intellect. You will use both to do well and, even more essentially, to do good. In that pursuit, do not confuse small with insignificant. Every act of decency and generosity matters. Never underestimate how far even a little kindness can go.
