Today is the first of a two-parter on how the older Huang kids are doing. We'll start with Jada, who is now several weeks into a 6-month internship with a law firm in Singapore through her Drexel cooperative learning program.
Suffice to say that this aspiring world traveler is making the most of the opportunities her university and this work gig have afforded. Having spent a quarter in Taiwan for study abroad last fall, she is now getting an extended experience living and working in one of the truly great cities in Asia.
As she may choose to be a lawyer in the future, working for a small law firm is a fantastic platform to determine whether this is something she can do as a career and to gain skills and contacts if she goes that route. And, being in Singapore allows her to navigate yet another world-class city as a solo young woman, with all that goes into that, like finding a place to live, riding public transit, buying groceries, and yes every once in a while going out and having fun.
It's also been a great jumping off point for still more travel. When I visit her in July, we'll do a quick weekend jaunt to Kuching in Malaysia. She's already done a weekender to see friends in Hong Kong. And I'm told work will take her to Vietnam.
Our Jerds, lying in that orphanage for so many months, and now trotting the globe as a confident young woman. We're immensely proud of her accomplishments, and happy that she is living her best life.
