I graduated from Brooklyn Law School last week! I have felt a lot of emotions throughout my law school career and since commencement, but, overwhelmingly, I have felt gratefulness. To everyone in my corner, whether family, friends, peers, professors, mentors, coworkers, or other, I thank you for showing up for me, pushing me, challenging me, and inspiring me. I am so honored and lucky to have had such a strong support system cheering me on through all of the challenges the past 3 years have brought me, and I would not be where I am today without every single person in my corner. For that I am eternally thankful. Last, but certainly not least, I am incredibly proud of ME, my drive, and my perseverance. I have grown and learned so much in just a short few years, and I am soaking up every single bit of joy this momentous accomplishment is giving me. This is only the beginning, and I am so eager to see what the future has in store for me! Until I earn those last 3 letters behind my name, I think an extra two will suffice for now!
