THREAD: I have wanted to be a lawyer since I was eight years old--when I first experienced the realities of the courtroom and our justice system. That part of my story is long and painful—if you know, you know. I promised myself then that I would be an advocate for victims. 1/
Today was my last day of law school. The three long years are finally concluding. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to put my feelings into words, but all I can say now is that I am so thankful.
I am 23 years old, and I have been blessed beyond measure. I am loved by a Heavenly Father who calls me “daughter,” and loves me in the absence of and more than my earthly father ever could. I am happily married to the most wonderful man—who has shown me true, Godly love. 3/
I want to thank Jesus Christ for saving me and redeeming me. Without God, I am nothing. I pray that I will always remember how He delivered me. 6/
I now ask for your prayers on the upcoming bar exam. My studying begins very soon, and I will be completely absent from social media. I hope and pray that the results are favorable, and that I can practice law for the glory of God—wherever and however he leads me. 7/
Autumn Dawn Price Johnson, Juris Doctor, sounds pretty cool.

I am so incredibly thankful for him. Garrett is an angel and I will always be in awe of the Godly man that he is. I have an excellent relationship with my brother, Logan, and we both have a strong desire to work to reform the justice system that tried to make us another statistic
I am well aware that most stories like this do not end like mine. I came from nothing and worked for everything. Looking back I see only the hand of God—guiding and shaping me every moment into the woman I am today. 5/
I hope to leave the system better than I found it all of those years ago. 8/
