I was reading upfront magazine when I came across an article. It made me think a lot about commitment and knowledge, and what it really means to put dedication into your work. And not just a job that you get hired into, but also just anything that requires hard work. This really stood out to me because I felt I could learn from it and take in what it was like to have to be something that requires your judgement and commitment.
There was one section of the article that was subtitled ‘Does the Court ever change its mind?’ I read it, and it’s about this one case in 1954, the Brown v. Board of Education that’s probably the most famous of them all. This case was about racial segregation and how that should play a role in schools or not. “The Court unanimously overturned a decision from 1896, Plessy v. Ferguson, that permitted government-imposed racial segregation as long as the facilities offered to blacks and whites were equal.” And, four years later after public school segregation was now also constitutional, the judges decided to change their minds about the case.
I thought that overall, what this article did was really show how much work and effort and thought is put into the title of ‘Supreme Court Justice’ and how much it means, because they do get their jobs for life after all. Not only that, but I feel that I’ve really reflected off this article about how much commitment I put into each task that I do. Recently I’ve been struggling to keep up with certain things and mostly because I haven’t been putting all of my effort into them. A lot of the time it’s hard to even have motivation to doing something that requires all of your effort and attention, but that’s something I want to get used to doing from here on out, and this article has helped me realize that.
