“You just never think it's going to be you. And then, all of a sudden, it's you.” Join us as we talk with Alexandra Ellis, University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) alumna and law student at Vermont Law School. Alexandra’s story, which she documented in her award-winning UAA ePortfolio, is a journey of the devastating impact of one’s choices, persevering through the aftermath and consequences, and adopting a lasting determination to rise up and give back to the community because, “No matter if I was going to go to prison for 25 years, I was going to continue to try to do better because my life was no longer mine.” As she explained in her ePortfolio, “I believe everyone does the very best that they can with their stories. I'm no exception to this rule.” This is Alexandra’s story.
