the unexpected
Julie Perez, 2L, is a first-generation student who is not afraid to face failure. Growing up in Dayton, Perez was raised by parents who did not attend high school, let alone have any experience with higher education. She aspired to become a lawyer, but being a first-generation student was not the only obstacle she faced.
