UPDATED: 8:05am – From a market vendor to the court room. This was the humble beginning of Lusiana Caucau who was admitted to the bar at the Suva High Court yesterday.
Caucau says getting to where she is today, was not easy.
“It has been a very long journey as my parents can a test. I started the law degree in 2002, I sort of lost focused there for a bit. I resumed my studies back in 2012, but before that I was a market vendor in the Suva market and it was my mother who introduced me the business of doing flowers and selling it and that’s where I met my employer.”
For the mother of four, her turning point was reflecting back to her current status and what she really wanted to be in the future.
“At one point, I went like this, I’m selling juice as well, so I was saying, will this what I will be doing for the rest of my life, so at the point I turned. So I tried going back to school and saved enough money, had help from my family and friends and I was able to go back to school.”
Caucau says her struggles has paid off and she can provide a brighter future for her family.
