Most excitingly, the opportunity to return to Morningside Heights to pursue my law degree.
I cannot tell you how many nights I asked for this dream to come true. To see this prayer answered is such a blessing, and I am immensely grateful for my parents, who have become my biggest cheerleaders, my professors, my mentors, my partner, my friends, my students, and my Creator. These achievements are just as much theirs as they are mine.

I am the child of a man who arrived on American soil with $150 in his pocket, unaware of the mental, spiritual, and socioeconomic challenges he would have to overcome in order to establish a life for himself, my mother, and for his five children.
