I found a cool article about one of my fellow classmates--Naseem Nixon, Here are some excepts:

While in Raleigh she noticed a population of strong black community and school leaders. With black teachers, principals and counselors, there was never a doubt she would eventually be like them.

But Naseem’s life has never been solely focused on her race. It’s more focused on what she has in common with others – especially her musical talent.

“I knew I always wanted to go to law school, but the indecision was where I should go to law school,” she says. “I was always in the middles of arguments – even my parents’.”

She will be the 2008/2009 BYU Student Bar Association President and hopes to get a job at a law firm by July of 2009. As a minority lawyer she will be able to increase the amount of opportunities available to others who share her diverse background.
