We Are Texas East Mall Project

“I told the University of Texas that I wanted to come during the summertime… I wasn’t going to wait for September because I didn’t trust them anymore, okay? I learned fast. When I got here… I was told I couldn’t register with everyone else, I had to go to [President] Dr. Logan Wilson’s office. The first thing [President Wilson] asked me when I walked into his office was where’s my lawyer. And the first thing in my mind was, ‘35,000 students at the University of Texas. Do each of them have a lawyer to matriculate here?! Maybe I’m in the wrong field… maybe I should become a lawyer so I can take care of university students…’ I was serious. I thought that every university student had to have a lawyer.”
