Spotlight on Elisa Himes, 2L

Q. Where are you from?
A. I am from Mendon, Michigan, a very tiny country town in the southwest region of Michigan.

Q. What does becoming a lawyer mean to you?
A. It means having the opportunity and the honor to help people. I have always had a strong desire to impact others' lives for the better and I am really excited to see what opportunities in law lie ahead of me.

Q. What do you wish you knew before you started law school?
A. I wish I would have known how hard it was going to be, especially 1L year. But then again, if I had known, I probably would have chickened out--so better to have gone in blissfully ignorant.

Q. What surprised you most about Regent?
A. Honestly, how Christ-like it was. I have attended other 'Christian' universities in undergrad, but I never really felt like they represented what being a Christian was really about. They were more Christian in name only: not here. I love that I have people that I can talk about my faith with and people that are there to pray for me and encourage me. I have never felt such a sense of community as I feel at Regent.

Q. How is law school different from your college experience?
A. Well, memorizing is what got me through all undergrad and I did well. In law school, however, that doesn't cut it. I feel that law school, in contrast to undergrad, teaches you how to think and not just assimilate information.
