Gianella Balda

As a 29-year-old who is 10 years out of college after having dropped out after one year, it feels great to know that I am working towards my goal of becoming a first-generation Ecuadorian-Salvadorian Lawyer. If you would have told me a year ago that I would be back in school right now as a single mother, working a full-time job, & in the middle of a pandemic, I would have not believed you. Achieving a 4.0 GPA in my first semester back at school was an achievement that I cannot even begin to explain in how it made me feel. I feel honored and appreciative for the opportunity to join The Honor Society and look forward to learning about all of the opportunities it will present to me.
