The last of six children, her father is putting all that he can in place to ensure that the idea becomes a reality -- Collin Mills is determined to spend all he has for his daughter to accomplish her dream of becoming a lawyer.
"If it is only one pair of shoes mi have left," the proud father declared.
Now studying politics, Lisa believes that she can achieve this dream, and there is no doubt in the minds of those around her as she has been doing well in whatever she takes on.

The former St Hilda's High School student was awarded the Most Academic Student after completing her studies at Havering College in 2013. When she beat over 1,500 students for the top prize, she was rewarded with the scholarship to Marymount College.
While it is a challenge studying in a foreign country, and doing so while working, Mills continues to do exceptionally well.
A reserved, hard-working woman, Mills was not the type to hit the spotlight while here at home in Jamaica. However, since going to study overseas she has been an outstanding student, gaining recognition wherever she goes.
She is happy that she has been doing well in a 'foreign' country, as she knows that it is usually harder for non-nationals to survive the rough times.
