Bio

I have always dreamed since I was little of being a lawyer and I decided I will make that dream come true and now I'm studying to become a criminal justice lawyer in college. I'm very passionate about my career and making my parents proud after all the sacrifices they made for me. My parents always ask me why I chose law and its easy really, When I look around and see all the injustices that take place in our world, I know that one day it will be possible that I can make a difference. I want to fight for the rights of average people like us because now in our world we only see rich/wealthy people being favored & I want to seek justice for all. Being the first proud daughter of Hispanic immigrant parents has always made me want to work harder after all their sacrifices. Making my parents proud has always been a goal of mine. Thats why I joined bold.org because maybe I could be blessed with help in achieving my dream goal and career and help in my financial struggles for my education in order to make my dream possible. I love reading books about law, biography & mystery/crime. I love watching documentaries of cases. I love being outgoing and always love to help as much as I can. I love giving to my community because everyone deserves kindness just as we want it as well. I love enjoying life everyday like If it's my last. There are many quotes that have helped me be motivated and not give up and here is one “If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds.” - Jesse Jackson
