Summary
Though I may only be 26 years young, I have survived and prospered through many things others my age could not fathom. Between deafness from meningitis, losing my dad at 18, and diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma at just 23 years old, there has been many obstacles that I am proud to have thrived through it all. Although these experiences are just the tip of the iceberg, they have molded me into the man I am today and the man I aspire to be. I hope to inspire others while on my journey to become a lawyer with the goal of helping others and giving back to my community.
