“To my Parents, may I never forget the important values you have instilled in me and the great sacrifices you made to meet my educational needs despite your budget constraints which cannot be gainsaid. Without you, I would not have made it through law school, period.” Attorney at Law Exeter said as she broke down.

The young Attorney explained that when she left for Trinidad and Tobago to study, she was not sure how possible it would have been for her to make it in through Law School without her mother by her side. However, her mother was absent but still very present as she ensured that she called her baby girl every day to ensure that she was getting along ok. She also spoke of her father who encouraged her to pursue a career, not a job.

“With that being said today is my parents’ day. Take a bow.”

Justice Ramlall in her acceptance of the petition from Mr. Todd encouraged the young Attorney at Law to make very good decisions and to also be mindful of her associations and positions she takes on issues.
