About
- I first came to this country when I was 10 years old from India, along with my family
- At the time, I was far too young to know or appreciate the significance of the experience that I was facing
- I knew only that I wanted to see snow
- Quickly as I moved, I realized that there were so many things that were new and different about the United States
- I started asking questions about our own traditions and learning more deeply about myself and my heritage through these questions
- Like many young immigrants, I was also bullied by some classmates
- These experiences made an impact and made me respect and honor the journey that immigrants face when they decide to move from a place and country that is familiar to a place and country that is entirely new
- I decided to go to law school because to me, learning the law was very empowering
- Through the legal system, we get the protections and rights that are provided to each individual in the United States
- However, until we learn it, it seems scary and difficult to comprehend
- I wanted to understand the legal system to learn the rules of our country
- After graduating from Loyola University Chicago School of Law, I realized that I needed to help empower other immigrants who are also faced with the enormous challenge and possibilities opened by moving to a new and unfamiliar country
