We know starting your legal journey can feel overwhelming...
Think of 'Pre-Law' as your personal journey from high school graduation to law school applications. It's everything you do and learn along the way- your classes, experiences, extracurriculars, skills, interests, passions, achievements, honors, awards, leadership, and growth that shape you into a strong law school candidate.
"There is no single path that will prepare you for a legal education...Legal education welcomes and values diversity and you will benefit from the exchange of ideas and different points of view that your colleagues will bring to the classroom."

I'm Ron, and I’ll be your law mentor on your legal journey. The path to law school can be overwhelming and confusing - trust me, I've been there. After passing the CA Bar Exam, I vowed to guide law students with the insights that helped me succeed.
One key lesson? Embracing your unique story can set you apart in law.
My story began at military boarding school at 11. Over 5 transformative years at Army and Navy Academy, I evolved from a boy whose greatest achievement was beating Pokémon Blue into a decorated senior cadet with a 4.43 GPA, 10 APs, and 12 leadership roles.
For college admissions, I struggled to identify which achievement defined me. Then it hit me—my identity wasn’t defined by one accolade but by the life lessons, leadership skills, and discipline I gained as a military cadet. Crafting my personal statement around this narrative was the key to stand out to admissions officers, unlocking acceptances to Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, and UCLA.
At UCLA, I excelled academically but was uncertain about my future in law. I felt pressured to choose one path, so I took the default pre-law advice—majoring in Political Science and pursuing law internships.
It wasn’t until my last semester that I decided on law school, realizing the pre-law advice I followed as a freshman did little to help me craft a unique narrative. After graduation, I found myself at a crossroads, seeking a deeper sense of purpose before the next chapter.
Seeking clarity, I ordained as a monk in Thailand. This journey of self-discovery reignited my passion for the law and refreshed my approach to my law school applications.
By weaving this experience into my 'Legal Story,' I crafted a compelling narrative that earned a prestigious fellowship to Notre Dame Law.

‘No result is easy which is worth having. Your education begins when what is called your education is over.’ Oliver Wendell Holmes' words only became clear to me after law school. I realized my experiences—from military school to monastic life—were key steps, not detours, in my career as a different kind of lawyer.
Success in my legal career wasn't from a set path, but from merging my passions for law, education, and business. By inspiring students, I aim to legal career that leaves a meaningful impact—a result worth having.
Remember, there’s no single ‘right’ path to your legal journey. Embracing uncertainty, challenges, and triumphs will form the bedrock of your legal story. As your law mentor, I’m here to help you harness these experiences to jumpstart your journey to law school and your future legal career.
At First Honors, we believe in ensuring that opportunities are accessible for all students on their legal journey.
