What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the experience I had after my mom was murdered in front of me when I was young. We never got any justice, and I didn't have any knowledge about the legal system at that time. That personal tragedy became my driving force - I thought if I could do something, I could help people who maybe don't have any knowledge about law or the justice system, people who have gone through something like mine. I want to share the knowledge I gain from law school to help them move forward and help them in some way. I was only young when it happened, and I had to drop out of high school to take care of my three younger siblings after both my parents were gone. But I've accepted that everything happened for a reason, and I'm thankful for where I am now. It's been a very long, amazing journey - I went back to school, got my diploma, came to America, and now I'm pursuing both nursing and law on scholarship. My goal is to make a change and inspire somebody not to give up.
