Looking back to August 1996, I had an interview with Dr. Newton at Texas Tech School of Law. I can recall taking a few prep classes for the LSAT. In the end, my score was not good. I was accepted to a few schools, but they were out of state, private and expensive. I still think about how fun such an education would be.
A few days later I took my little brother and cousin to a class at the University. I remember how excited they were, but I was excited too. I was the first to get a University degree in my big family of cousins on my mother’s side. I wanted them both to know it was possible. JMD
