If i do nothing else in my life, at least it dream big. I have set an incredibly high standard for my future and work everyday to achieve my goals. It hasn't always been the easiest journey but I know it will be worth it in the end.
Right out of high school, I started working full time to pay my tuition at my local junior college, Asheville-Buncombe Technical School, before transferring to North Carolina Central University in 2011. I can't remember when I first decided that I wanted to be a lawyer. I can however tell you the exact moment that I planned the rest of my life.
When I took my first Introduction to Law class, I was in love. I was in love with the judicial system, with the intensity, with contracts. It was at that moment that I knew I wanted practice law and focus on contracts. More specifically, I wanted to focus on athletic contracts and build my reputation in sports so that on day I will become the first women, NFL commissioner.
Currently, I am working my second season with the Durham Bulls. I am preparing for my summer graduation in August of 2014. After graduation I will gain a full time internship with the baseball club, before attending Law School in the fall of 2015.
