“The reason I originally applied was because I believed this was a great opportunity for me,” she said. “I now realize I want to pursue law, as my major, in college and this will be an asset to that goal. I want to have my voice heard, and help those who are not strong enough to stand up for themselves. I have strong leadership skills and a career in law will enable me to turn my goals into realty. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for me, and I plan to use it wisely.”
After high school she plans to attend Chaminade University in Hawaii. She wants to become a lawyer and join the Navy as an officer in the Judge Advocate General Corps.
“After completion of my military service I will return to Guam where I plan to pursue my career in law and politics.”
She added, “Any contribution you feel appropriate would be greatly appreciated. I know I have a long way to go from where I am now, which is why this Princeton summer school program is so important to me. Si Yu’us Ma’ase.”
