My journey to becoming an Esquire—a lawyer—wasn't the straight path I'd imagined when I was younger. My name is David Mitchell, and at twenty-five, I'd finally earned the right to put those three letters after my name. For someone whose father cleaned office buildings at night and whose mother worked double shifts as a nurse, law school had seemed as distant as the moon.
I, Stanley Scott Jr., am a proud product of San Francisco's vibrant educational institutions. My journey began at the San Francisco School of Law, where I laid the foundation for my lifelong passion for learning and service. I also attended San Francisco State University, where I had the privilege of majoring in Public Health. This field of study opened my eyes to the complex interplay between Law, healthcare systems, social determinants of health, and the well-being of individuals and communities.
