When I was starting out, I followed along the path that seemed to be marked out for me - from high school to college to law school to professional life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I went to law school after college.
Since I was a young girl, I always wanted to pursue law studies. I would have never imagined that my career would have taken a complete different route.
But I decided I wanted more education and I had to make a choice between starting law school, which was interesting to me, and going for a graduate degree in engineering.
I chose to go to law school because I thought that someday, somehow I'd make a difference.
I went to a public high school with a magnet program for law and psychology. But right before my junior year, I decided that I wanted to leave and become an actress, so I graduated early and moved out to L.A.
Had I pursued my education long enough to learn all the conventional dos and don'ts of starting a business, I often wonder how different my life and career might have been.
I've been kind of lucky. I've always just kind of followed whatever my passion was, and that seems to have led me to better places than if I had followed some career trajectory, which I wouldn't even know how to start.
I grew up in a middle-class family. I went to law school.
I studied law at university and was sort of grooming myself to go into that kind of career. I filmed 'The Wedge' while studying, which was very difficult, but I'm proud I completed my degree.
There was a small point in my life in law school, right before I moved to Newark, when I didn't know what I wanted to do, and I felt so lost.
