Yalley took to LinkedIn to recall the challenges she overcame during her pursuit of a career in the legal field.
''To say my journey to the Bar is one of resilience and determination will be an understatement. After three unsuccessful attempts at law school entrance exams (2018 to 2020), I was successful on my 4th attempt (in 2021) and, with grit and grace, completed within the two-year frame for law school period.
''Rejection, failure can be hard, a bitter pill to swallow indeed! But how you choose to handle it shows the stuff you are made of,'' she said.
The new lawyer thanked her family, friends, and employers who supported and encouraged her on the incredible journey.
Commenting on their milestones, Lawyer Selorm Aku Dadzawa, who was also called to the Bar, urged people, especially young girls who want to be like her, to pursue their dreams.
''Begin if you have anything to do. Begin if you genuinely want to. Always strive to create and expand your network; you can only accomplish it with the assistance of others.
''Be intentional about making good friends because it will benefit you. Know that you can be whatever you want to be at any time. I am living proof of this,'' she told YEN.com.gh.
