“Not only have my life experiences shaped me as a person, they also prepared me for law school and a public interest career. Without my unexpected path, I would not have learned about myself, nor would I be certain a law degree is the best step to pursue my career and my dreams. In some ways, I have had moments of doubt. But through it all, my mother’s encouragement to believe in my dreams and work hard to obtain my goals has led me to pursuing my law degree.”
