## Resource

In this episode, Alfonso shares his journey from serving in the Marines and working full-time to pursuing his dream of becoming an attorney. When his kids were starting college, he told them, “Let’s see who finishes first,” and eventually enrolled at the University of La Verne College of Law. We talk about going to law school later in life, balancing work and family, his social media, dealing with online negativity, and his journey as a bar exam retaker now taking the California Bar Exam for the third time. Whether you're a law student, a bar retaker, or chasing a goal of your own, this episode is a reminder that there's no timeline for success .
