My grandma is almost 98 and is one of the greatest influences in my life.
She taught me that hard work, kindness, and perseverance are the foundations of a meaningful life.
When I was visiting her in Iowa this week, she shared with me she thinks about me being a lawyer every single day, and it fills her heart with joy. Knowing how proud she is means more to me than any title or accomplishment ever could.
And the greatest gift of all is that she’s still here to watch me live the dream she inspired me to chase. I hope to honor her example by working hard, treating people with kindness, and being the best lawyer I can be.
