Law School?

I was headed to law school. Seriously, that's where I was going. The Sandra Day O'Connor Law School, in Phoenix, Arizona is part of Arizona State University. It's #30 in the best law school’s in the U.S. I was excited to be going. That was until all of this.

May, 2021

I started packing my room, organizing my stuff, and cleaning. I was going to be leaving in two months. I wanted to practice criminal law or constitutional law, maybe even environmental law. Really, I was interested in prison reform and criminal justice reform. My background was a Bachelor of Arts in Forensic Psychology. I worked with an awesome woman, Melissa, who would take me all over the states to assist her with her forensic business. We certified mostly law enforcement in Blood Pattern Analysis. I would help teach the classes, they were a week-long and they were super cool! You would find blood patterns, measure them, and you could tell where the patterns were coming from. You could tell what object was used, how tall the person was, what angle they stood when the incident occurred.

When I first applied to Sandra Day O’ Connor, I didn’t get in, I got deferred. I was heart broken. My GPA was way above their average, but my LSAT score was way below it. I really didn't think I was going to get in. I applied to other schools in California and Colorado, but I really didn't want to go to them. I wanted to be close to home. Then I got the call, “Morgan, are you still interested in attending Sandra Day O’Connor?”, I was like “OMG!”, I was so excited, of course the answer was YES! I got in, and boy, did I think I was ready. Guess the universe had other plans for me that I wasn’t aware of at that moment.

I am a first generation student. My father went to trade school, he is now a high voltage electrician. My mom was a police officer (a badass one!), and now she does colon hydrotherapy at a spa she owns. I was the first one to go to college, and I was going to law school. I was so excited.

I'm not really sure what I want to do right now, and that’s okay!
