Soon-to-be Emory Law School graduate Melonie Wright started in special education classes and was told that she would always have difficulty learning in grade school. However, the young woman proved her doubters wrong by obtaining a degree from the Atlanta-based university.
Wright describes her long and arduous journey to receive her degree in a detailed Instagram post.

Wright reveals that she experienced homelessness, domestic abuse and the hardships of being a single parent. However, through it all she said her faith in God got her through the hardest of obstacles. All of these things happened while she was still in college pursuing her education.
The young woman goes on to say that “law school had its struggles, with literally cents in my acct at times, paying my daughter’s medical bills when GA erroneously denied us assistance, and becoming a DIY queen because we had no choice.”
According to her LinkedIn profile, Wright has had many opportunities working at Atlanta-based law firms. Recently, she was the National Director of Social Action for the National Black Law Students Association.
There is no word on what the young scholar has planned, but whatever it is will be extraordinary.
