They said I couldn’t, but I did it though ‼️👩🏽‍🎓

Full circle moment 🔄: 

My college academic advisor told me not to apply to law school. He stated, “No school is going to accept you with these LSAT scores.” He suggested I retest to improve my score and take a year off. While this may have been sound advice for a traditional student, I refused to accept it. With this as my motivator, I finished college in two years and was determined to go to law school right away. After being rejected by a few schools I felt discouraged. Once I finally made peace with taking a gap year, not one, but two schools offered me a scholarship. 

I made the decision to attend FAMU LAW 🐍 To my surprise, I performed very well in my first year. 😅

I took a leap of faith and applied to UF Law …and got in. ☺️

On Friday, May 20th at 12:00 pm, I will be graduating from University of Florida Levin College of Law, the top law school in Florida, and the #21 ranked law school in the country. 🎉

If I would’ve listened to my advisor, I would not be where I am today. 🤷🏾‍♀️ If I would’ve listened to the statistics I never would’ve made it. 📊 So today I say that I owe all my success to God who constantly works in my favor. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

So yes… they said I couldn’t but I did it though. But their report is not the report that I believe. And as my late great grandmother would say “Who did it? GOD did it!” 🗣👏🏾😇
