Stephanie Baker was never meant to be your average girl. As a small child, she had dreams that were larger than the city in which she was raised. Whether she would daydream about becoming a famous actress or even a higher-powered attorney, her main goal was one day to rule the world. Throughout her early lifetime, her father was always there for her; giving her whatever she had wanted. She became so spoiled that money never became an object for her. From attending private school to graduating at a top university with a degree in legal studies, she later ventured out to New England and attended law school in a small town in Massachusetts that was approximately thirty minutes from Boston.
At first, law seemed like her true calling until Stephanie took her first step onto the doors of legal academia. Throughout the first semester, she would consistently ask herself, “What the hell did I get myself into?” In a split second, her whole life changed and she no longer had a whirlwind social life. Attending law school was like being secluded in another world, whereby, her new life revolved around reading all of the time and preparing for the next class. This was definitely not a glamorous life as television has portrayed it to be. There were many times that she felt overwhelmed and extremely lonely. As a result, Stephanie found herself crying occasionally because she was missing her family, friends, and boyfriend back home. Whenever she had the opportunity, she would return home to visit.
During the second semester of school, her mother had announced to her that her father was diagnosed with a serious illness and would die within the following year. This sudden announcement interfered with her education that she could not concentrate in her studies. By the end of the year, Stephanie Baker made a decision to return home and be with her family. The next day she withdrew herself from law school. Late in that afternoon, she returned back to her condo in tears and wondered to herself, “What am I going to do now?” Even though she was feeling in limbo, Stephanie somehow found the strength within herself to believe that everything was going to turn out all right later on down the road.
