How Life Events Can Shape a Legal Career
It was the summer of 2003. I had just graduated from high school, lived with my parents, and was working 50 hours a week as a helper/fitter at a local shipyard before heading off for my first year at LSU. I would come home each day filthy and smelly, but I loved having the opportunity to work hard and save some money for college. Unlike most work nights, I came home one evening to find my mom and dad sitting in the living room, waiting to talk to me. I had no clue what was going on but could tell it was serious by the looks on their faces.
