“Becoming an immigration lawyer isn’t just a career choice for me, it’s a promise to my father, my family, my community, and most importantly to every person who has ever felt silenced by the system. They may have stolen my father’s voice. But they will not steal my future.
This scholarship will give me the opportunity to create a path to showcase my purpose. To allow me to build confidence within my community. This scholarship will not only alleviate some of the financial stress when finding a way to pay for college, but it will also allow me to further focus on my academics and future values. Earning such a scholarship will ensure me with confidence that this is a path I am destined to pursue.”
