The University of Maryland, College Park played a transformative role in my life. College Park Success Scholars was one of the essential components of my college experience. CSS provided me with ready access to leadership opportunities, brotherhood, and encouraged me to aim high. The support that I received helped me achieve a well-rounded college experience. Since my graduation from college, I attended law school on a full-tuition honors scholarship and I am now an attorney. Without the strong foundation provided by CSS and the University of Maryland, College Park my achievements would not have been possible.
