Are you the First in your Family to go to college? Law school? Have a "White Collar" Job? Me too.
My name is Andrenna. I am the daughter of Central American immigrants, and am now the proud mother of a 3 year-old son. I am the first in my family to go to college, and am now a practicing attorney in the DC area.
My journey has not been easy, but I have been fortunate to have people in my life to guide me and give me the tools to overcome all of the obstacles that I have had to face.
Now it's on me to continue paying it forward. Welcome to FirstGen Flourish! I hope to share my experiences and insights with others who are navigating their own academic, professional, and parenting journeys. I also be sharing how I balance all of the above as a neurodivergent individual (ADHD) with a chronic autoimmune disease (Lupus).
Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.

Does this apply for ube bar exam? Or just for Cali?
I discuss both in the video. The strategies for practicing are the same. The only thing that changes is the timing and the scope of the subjects.
Hi! Thanks for the tips. Can you post your essay review template? I’ve been wanting to track the essays and love that idea.
All three of you are encouraging and inspirational people. The most impressive aspects are the empathy and eagerness to bring humanity and, therefore, justice as focus into and to the law, which has generally been cold and harsh, about winning, rather than about justice.
Well done to Justine and Brad! It's an amazing venture!
Thank you for sharing!
Great job on this video! So proud of you. ❤
Thank you!
These are such great tips! Especially for freshman. ❤thank you for sharing. Oh and some schools even give free legal assistance and tax services!
