Isabel Surratt

I believe I am a determined, ambitious, and purpose-driven person who always strives to achieve the goals I set for myself. Once I decide on something, I am willing to put in the hard work and dedication needed to make it happen. My dream is to become one of Virginia's leading attorneys, specializing in children's law while also pursuing corporate law. I want to use my education and future career to advocate for children who need someone to stand up for them and to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. I also see myself as resilient and independent. Growing up as one of nine siblings has taught me the importance of perseverance, and being the only one pursuing a career in law motivates me even more to create my own path. I enjoy challenging myself, learning from my experiences, and continuing to grow into the best version of myself. Outside of academics, I value staying active and involved. As a varsity cheerleader, I have developed teamwork, leadership, discipline, and commitment. I also enjoy hiking because I love exploring new places and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. Cooking and baking allow me to express my creativity and give me a way to relax while doing something I enjoy. Overall, I believe I am someone who is hardworking, compassionate, and driven by a desire to help others. I want to be remembered as someone who never gave up on my goals, who used my success to make a positive impact, and who inspired others to believe that with determination and dedication, anything is possible.
