After facing workplace discrimination due to his learning disability, DJ decided to pursue his long-held dream of becoming a lawyer. Despite being discouraged by several education consultants and rejected by 18 out of 19 law schools due to low LSAT scores and a modest GPA, he was eventually accepted by Southern University.
