“Find a career field that you have a passion in,” Newton said. “Passion in either serving others or giving back because that doesn’t feel like work to me.”
What I made myself to be is to serve other people, and it has gotten me here.

Newton was not always interested in law. While attending high school, Newton entered and won a writing contest under the Rotary Club, which provided him with a scholarship toward college. Newton was not a part of a Rotary Club in high school, but joined one once he entered college.
“I have found out through my career and even in my service of others that [Rotary] is the base of what allowed me to accomplish these things,” Newton said.
As Newton got older, his inspiration to become a lawyer grew under his desire to help others and to help out his community.

“What I made myself to be is to serve other people, and it has gotten me here,” Newton said.
