Tell us about a time in college that played a big impact on your success? "When I started college, I was on a type of probation since my test scores and high school grades weren't very strong. I ended up having a baby and leaving school for a while. My start to college was somewhat rocky, but when I came back, I was nominated by faculty for a scholarship, which I received, and I was on the dean's list. Receiving the scholarship helped me to be sure that I was in the right place and doing the right thing. I also learned that it's okay to take a break and try again." —Graduate Programs Coordinator, McKinney School of Law
