I wanted to go to a liberal arts college, I wanted to have that experience.

My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education.

I went to a liberal arts college, and as part of my background, I was majoring in mathematics and physics.

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 went to law school after college.

The truth is that I'd always wanted to go to law school.

I was attracted to law school because I believed it would help me prepare for a career in the real world.

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.

Before I had decided to get into politics, I was laying the groundwork to have a career in the law, but that was really to lay the foundation to teach, either at the college level or law school level after my federal clerkships.
