About Katherine Abalos
Sometimes I think things and then later I think other things. This is a collection of the things that I have thought a lot about which are often inspired by some of the most amazing experiences I have ever had.
I spent two years as a full time volunteer in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. I spent time working for a resource center which offer low-income folks free food, clothing, education, etc. in San Jose, California. I worked for a small middle school with children from low-income families in St. Louis, Missouri. I also worked at a nonprofit immigration law firm serving low-income migrants and immigrants in St. Louis, Missouri.
I am currently attending law school in San Francisco, California, where I have spent my last two summers working in the juvenile hall of Oakland, California, and the death row of Arkansas.
Most of what I write about comes from my experiences in which I have learned so much. I write with the hope of making sense of those experiences but often I find that I make nonsense of it all. But in that nonsense, I find myself striving to know more and to be better. I also write with the hope of inspiring others to reflect on their own experiences. With the great magnitude of troubles that we face in our world, it is up to us to find ways to remember that our experiences are not universal and that silence is complacency.
