Hi everyone my name is Yadira Cadmilema. In 2013 I went through an unforgettable moment. This particular moment marked my life forever because it was in that year that my parents officially received their green cards. Being able to see the enjoy and happiness in their faces was incredible. Then in there, I realized I wanted to become an immigration lawyer. I want to be able to help people and give them that same happiness in receiving their green cards just like my parents were. Which is why I choose Law and Paralegal Studies as my major. However, I’m also a mommy to a 5-month-old baby boy. He means the world to me and gives me all the motivation and strength I need to succeed in my career path and in life.
