hi my name is Wilson Ta Im a 3L at Lewis
and Clark
I'm from San Francisco California i
grew up in hunters point
if anyone knows where that's from that's
a very low-income
neighborhood in San Francisco thats
often neglected 
what I like most about OLIO is the
relationships are
formed I remember my first year we
had THUDS
which stand for the helpful upper
division students and these are the
2 and 3L's in law school who've been through what
I was about to go through and was nice
for them to share their experience with
me
and give me a heads ups to what's going on and it's more of a comfortable setting too
because they kinda share a similar background
with me and there also a person of color
which makes me all the more comfortable
and
throughout this weekend it's a room full
the students who are
um generally people of color too and that makes me a lil bit more comfortable to be
myself and
to see what's going on and in addition
to these
relationship the students you also form
relationships with
attorneys and judges who are out
there to help you
and the kinda impart their passion
whether you want to law school for
to be a public defender or a district
attorney they they make you and do
everything
along with them too and it doesn't just
stay
at this OLIO weekend it carries
on throughout the whole school year so
it's a great little great introduction to
to be a part of into get to know people
and once you start law school your
have friends have a ready which makes a
lil bit nicer things have been kinda
this
solo person scavenging around
for friends you already
have some relationships formed before you
start school and you know this
it's nice in that sense so I'm big on
developing relationships and I just
love people and getting to know
people and that's why I love
OLIO
