so i wanted to be a lawyer
00:06
because i wanted to fight for people’s

rights
00:09
one of the things that i noticed growing
00:11
up is
00:12
that there’s lots of entities and

and with that power comes responsibility
00:20
but sometimes
00:22
those entities will abuse their power
00:25
and can infringe on people’s rights and
00:28
under those circumstances
00:30
i kind of found my passion in wanting to

witness availability things don’t always
01:13
go according to plan
01:15

01:18
