“When I was at Concordia, I got an early acceptance into Law School before graduating. I was doing work for the community—I was president of Hillel Montreal at the time. I felt that student life on campus needed to change a little bit, so I said no to law school and went to continue my undergrad and continue fighting for student rights on campus. We don’t bring that up in my house; my parents wanted me to go to law school! I applied the next year, got in again, and said no a second time. At that point it was clearer to me that you have to really want something. To spend four years doing something that I wasn’t necessarily passionate about wasn’t for me. For every mistake, every decision, that I’ve made, whether declining law school or not leaving Montreal at a certain time, has led me somewhere. You have to play the cards that you have and make the best of the situation you’re in.”
