I went to work [at the National Immigrant Justice Center] and left each day happily knowing that I made the right choice in going to law school, despite however many times I might’ve doubted it while studying for finals or getting through 1L. I still think about the clients, including one who was surprising her valedictorian daughter with her green card at her graduation. That hope for a better future is why my family and I came to this country, why I went to law school, and why I am committed to continuing my work in public interest. I am incredibly grateful to EJA for the opportunity, and I’m eagerly awaiting years of rewarding legal work.
