When researching I found going to Law School is what best suited me. This is when I decided I was going to put myself all in on studying and being able to achieve my goal of going to Law School and become an attorney. I want to be a lawyer because I want to be able to help people defend themselves through the legal court system. I also want to be able to help minorities who may be unable to afford adequate representation be able to defend themselves without having to choose whether or not to fight for their rights or how they are going to make ends meet that month. I feel that legal representation should be affordable for all people not just the wealthy.
My time in undergrad was unconventional to say the least. I completed my first two years of undergrad while I was still in high school which made me fifteen my first year and sixteen my second year. As I was so young I had a difficult time gaining the respect from most of my peers and some professors. I was always having to prove that I was capable of handling these classes and mature topics at such a young age. I would make sure I always went above and beyond for every course I was in to prove that I was capable of handling the course load and that I was able to discuss the mature topics that were a part of my degree such as autopsies, police brutality, prison reform and so much more. I would always try to bring new outlooks to the topics that we discussed to show I was mature enough to handle these advanced discussions.
I believe St.Mary’s University School of Law will help me fulfill my dream to become an attorney. I believe that the online program not only gives me the flexibility I need to make a law degree possible but also the flexibility to learn at my own pace. I believe St. Mary’s University School of law is the perfect fit for me.
