My Dream To Become A Lawyer: A Career As A Career

724 Words3 Pages

It has been my dream to become a Lawyer ever since the 7th grade. It was at this point in my life that an interest turned into a deep love. The journey started when I was a very young child. I remember even before I set foot in middle school, as a very young boy, I would always watch crime shows such as “Law & Order” in my free time instead of playing video games or watching cartoons like my peers would. The ones who would always catch my attention were not the detectives or the officers but the individuals in the courtroom. The ones who stood up and faced the judge and the jury. The ones who with great intelligence as well as great emotion stated their case. However, I didn’t know who they were. One day after watching an episode I just could not handle my curiosity any longer and very eagerly ran to my computer. After looking through information I came across the word, Lawyer. Once I reached middle school I immediately signed up for the mock trial team. It was as educational as it was an enjoyable experience. At this point it had become apparent to me that I wanted to pursue a career as a Lawyer, however, I cannot become one until I receive the necessary credentials. My first step in my educational journey to become a Lawyer is attending Prince George’s Community College (PGCC). By doing this, I am providing myself with the opportunity to start my college career while still in High School. Being exposed to the college life at such a young age better prepares me

  • Still Separate Still Unequal

    According to the article Blending High School and College Can Sharpen the Focus of Each by Joel Vargas, it states that “early college experiences increase college success rates.” In other words, these early experiences allow a student to prepare for the challenges of college work while still having that support from their teachers and tutors. Throughout my high school career, I had the opportunity to take honors and Advanced Placement courses for the majority of my classes. The Advanced Placement courses allowed for a better understanding of the subject as well as providing the extensive work often similar to college classes. Learning the subjects from college in high school, such as English 101, even if not receiving the college credit for it, allowed for an understanding of the skills taught.

  • Summary Of Two Years Are Better Than Four By Liz Addison

    426 Words  | 2 Pages

    In her article, “Two Years Are Better Than Four,” Liz Addison argues that community colleges are important because they offer the opportunity for self-discovery that so many today long for. It is commonly argued that colleges don’t have any worth because they expect students to have already gained knowledge and experience before attending. In Addison’s opinion, while this may be true for some four-year universities, community colleges don’t have such unrealistic expectations. When talking about four-year universities Addison says, “prove yourself worldly, insightful, cultured, mature, before you get to college. Yet, down at X.Y.C.C.

I also know that being an attorney is a very stressful job, so I figured that at least being a paralegal I would be able to still have the enjoyment of the law field in a different aspect. I am so excited to get my career going and experience what all is entailed.

  • Charles Murray's Essay Are Too Many People Going To College

    Throughout the essay, Charles Murray stresses the idea that college is the wonderland of finding oneself and to find the career that one would want to follow for the rest of their lives. “College is seen as the open sesame to a good job and a desirable way for adolescents to transition to adulthood. Neither reason is as persuasive as it first appears.” Murray, C (2008) Practically spoken, this is not normally the case. College is a fair amount of work, much more work than one would normally acquire through any course of a high school or secondary school setting.

  • Attending College After High School Essay

    The decision to attend college immediately after high school is one of the many challenges high schoolers face upon graduating. There are several reasons why that attending college promptly after graduation is a good idea. It is more beneficial than waiting because one will already have the drive to continue on with school rather than waiting, one will also graduate sooner which in turn will result in better job opportunities, and one is more likely to apply one’s high school knowledge.

  • Personal Narrative: Congressional Internship

    I want more opportunities to apply a person-centric and collaborative approach to service that empowers people to improve their own quality of life. In the short term, I want to dedicate the summers during law school entirely to public service internships in places like the Department of Justice or in Congressional legal offices. In the long term, I want to prosecute systematic corruption, tackle fraud, and fight for oppressed communities as a federal prosecutor or even an attorney general. Like the disabled veteran I met, so many disadvantaged individuals are forgotten and left to fend for themselves against the systemic oppression and indifference. As a lawyer, I hope to partner with victims of indifference and oppression, like the people of Ferguson, Missouri and Flint, Michigan so to empower them to improve their quality of life through the legal process.
