Evangeline, you made me feel less alone about coming into law school admissions with little support and no one around me who understands the process. I came from a place where I was made fun of every time I mentioned wanting to be a lawyer because it was out of reach, you helped reassure me that it is absolutely not out of reach!

2026-06-26 22:58:33 UTC

Thank you for telling your story

2026-06-26 23:01:08 UTC

Hi Evangeline! As someone who struggles with imposter syndrome, I really appreciate you sharing your story. I know everyone journey looks different but it's inspiring. I loved the way you framed the LSAT as a system that requires training, because it's overwhelming to know that one point can be worth thousands of dollars. Thank you for framing that with a reminder that we are worth the time and the investment.

2026-06-26 23:01:14 UTC

Thank you so much! It can become so easy to loose sight of your goals and potential, especially with all the systemic barriers we encounter. Your words are inspiring!

2026-06-26 23:01:27 UTC

Thank you Ms. Evanageline for sharing your story and uplifting all of us! "The LSAT is not a monster" is my mindset going forward and I'm not as terified of it after listenting to your perspective on it.

2026-06-26 23:02:35 UTC

Thank you so much for sharing your story and your light! Hearing your journey has given me so much inspiration as I pursue my own law school journey. Community is so, so, so important, and I’m grateful to be attending this conference this weekend.

Evangeline, Your story has been so inspiring to hear! I feel so empowered and motivated! I have been discouraged most of my life from pursuing this journey and so many people have spoken fear into my plans. But I am more confident in my pursuit of this than I have been for anything else in my life. Your gems really resonated, and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to listen to your presentation. Thank you so much!

Hi Sydney and Evangeline ! I just want to say thank you so much for your encouragement and useful information regarding law school. I have been studying for the LSAT for quite some time but Im not going to give up! Thank you so much!

2026-06-26 23:17:36 UTC

Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I come from a working-class background, and as a BIPOC student, there have been times when higher education felt out of reach. Your encouragement reminds me that this goal is worth pursuing.

Thank you

2026-06-26 23:26:10 UTC

Thank you for sharing your story and experience with us. I’m a first year at Howard who unfortunately has to transfer to TXST as it is closer and less expensive. I have been worried because I know that I won’t be getting the same experience but I am hoping to use what I have learned at Howard to advocate for myself and get to opportunities that will help me in my career. Even more, I have been looking for conferences to end up back in DC and I just want to thank you for creating your Pre-Law conference and your HBCU Pre-Law conferences as well. This has all been very inspiring and serves as an important reminder that proper preparation prevents poor performance. Thank you!!

2026-06-26 23:26:14 UTC

Thank you so much Ms. Mitchell for your support and guidance!!!

2026-06-26 23:26:29 UTC

This was such a great way to kick off the conference weekend! Thank you for the amazing words of wisdom and thoughtful insight.

2026-06-26 23:32:44 UTC

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, Ms. Mitchell. I found myself reflected in your personal narrative at many points as a fellow Houstonian and a first-generation student with a very similar upbringing to yours. It truly cannot be stated how much positivity swelled up within me upon hearing your story. I am reminded once again that I am always in a state of becoming and that nothing is truly out of sight for me, despite where I may have started.

2026-06-26 23:35:01 UTC

Thank you so much. Going to college as a first-generation immigrant feels like a disadvantage. I constantly feel like I have to work double to be just enough. I am a pre-law psychology & sociology double major with a research focus on the school-to-prison pipeline. I am interested in constitutional & international law. In the future I want to focus on education policy and create equal opportunities no matter where you are from. I believe that access to education shouldn't be determined by your zip code. Hearing your story and your resistance inspire me to believe I can too. I will remember the acronym SEED and apply it to my journey. Thank you again.

2026-06-26 23:38:26 UTC

Thank you so much as an undergraduate student who is ready to go to law school!!

2026-06-26 23:40:03 UTC

We are trees planted in the heart of our communities, drawing strength from the care we receive. As we grow, we scatter seeds of hope, leadership, and compassion that will take root and enrich our communities for years to come.

2026-06-27 00:01:04 UTC

Thank You, Evangeline, for opening my eyes to how I should "cultivate my S.E.E.D!"

Your words of encouragement and empowerment have been plentiful and motivation for me - beyond what you even can imagine or ever know. Thank you for gracing all of us with your wisdom and making everyone excited and immensely focused on their next chapters in life. Truly inspirational!

2026-06-27 22:03:52 UTC

Thank you for such encouraging words. I don’t feel as alone in this law school journey. I know now there are resources available even if I’m a non traditional student.

princejulius9905 — 2026-06-28 11:22:04 UTC

Thank you for the incredibly inspiring message! It truly resonated with me and serves as a powerful reminder to keep pushing forward and never give up. Your support means the world!

lalandradenise — 2026-06-28 12:38:24 UTC

It has taken me days to try and find the words to express the impact your words had on me. Quite frankly, I am still not sure I have them all. But, what I am sure of is how inspired I walked away feeling.

Thank you for showing up authentically, honest and relatable!!!

I look forward to seeing you at the HBCU pre-law summit!!!
