With the new direction my life has taken in just the last few weeks, it's hard not to feel like I'm walking on Cloud 9.
A few weeks ago I learned that I had been accepted to my top three law schools. Just last Friday I learned that UMKC's School of Law was offering me a full fee scholarship that was renewable for three years and this week I mailed the letter that sealed my future with UMKC.
It has been an incredibly humbling experience for me and my family. Not only do I have the opportunity to minimalist the cost of law school, but I have the perfect opportunity to be a leader for my community. I have been reminded of something I learned in my leadership class while we were studying the Jesuits last semester: we are leaders and we are leading all the time.
Whether or not I am working towards finishing law school to have a better future for myself or going through law school to further my education, my action have the potential to affect someone else's life. I see my accomplishments as confirmation for other students that have similar dreams. It also motivates me to be a leader even while I am a student.
I am very thankful for this new opportunity and I definitely hope to inspire someone through my accomplishments.
