“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” This quote from Elie Wiesel, who is the author of the best selling book Night and who himself survived the greatest injustice, the holocaust (Bio. Com), addresses an effective method to fighting injustice, protesting, which is found in both the readings on Socrates and Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter From Birmingham Jail. But what causes injustice so that “there may be times when we are powerless to prevent” it? From my desire to address the primary cause of injustice, resulted my thesis that ignorance anywhere is injustice everywhere.
Shortly after graduation I decided to move to New York City to explore career options. However I remained open to a career in law. Moving to New York City presented challenges, some of which brought me to realize my advocacy potential. When I first moved to New York City I transferred job locations with my current employer Jenny Craig and pursued modeling. I had non-exclusive contracts with multiple agencies and

The judicial court will hear these types of cases: Tort, contract, real property rights, and estate.
I see life as a journey, and this segment of the trip begins with a great legal education.
The first time I attended college I was very young; I was motivated to get my criminal justice career started. I thought I was on my way. I thought that there was no way I could’ve been stopped. Times took a turn for the worst or so I thought. The first thing that happened was that my father had fallen ill.
First and foremost graduating on February 27th 2015 with Class 002 of The Massachusetts Trial Court Officer Academy has to be my initial goal. Without completing this academy all the additional personal goals I have set for myself will mean nothing. Setting personal goals is my way to achieve the hard to reach accomplishments I strive for. Although there may be one main objective, before I can reach it, I set many “step goals” to focus on along the way. My first set of “step goals” was the application, résumé, and interview process to which I sought out a person I knew whose job was to read résumés and conduct interviews for the company Lockheed Martin.
My mother, Diane Smith, is the subject of my interview and her journey to begin a career in Law Enforcement. When she was 18 years old, she moved from West Jefferson to Wilkes County to begin her college years at Wilkes Community College. Diane lived in an apartment with her best friend and roommate, Nancy Childers. Nancy worked part time at KFC and Diane worked part time at Blue Ridge Opportunity Commission as an office assistant. One afternoon, when Diane got off work at her office job, she drove to KFC to see Nancy.
It is important to me to study forensic psychology at a school that emphasizes cultural awareness, competence, and understanding of diversity because minorities are underrepresented in this field. The lack of representation can affect the knowledge and progress of forensic psychology that is needed in the future. On the other hand, diversity in this field can lead to new innovations that can improve public safety and our justice system that will directly benefit society. Attending ________________University to obtain my Graduate degree in Forensic Psychology will enhance my critical thinking, enrich my educational experience, promote personal growth. Working numerous customer service jobs have modelled and manifested my dreams of working with a diverse of group of individuals.
My first crucial decision, my GCSE subjects, was where I developed an interest and curiosity towards the subject of Law and the Legal System, and, as I have become even keener and intrigued, I've made effort in keeping up with various legal stories, past and present. For example, the killing of Mark Duggan, triggering the London riots in 2011, and the recent ruling of 'lawful killing', caught my attention and made me question how that decision came about. As I'm drawn to the rocky relationship between crime and society I have decided to read both Law and Criminology, giving me a broad and thorough grasp of both perspectives. I believe the law is an ever-changing subject applied to many everyday matters in the world and current affairs. I am keen to be involved in and looking forward to
Throughout my life there has been a few things that I wanted to achieve; a career in the criminal justice field is one of the few. Giving up on my passion for criminal justice is not an option and being accepted into the M.A. in Criminal Justice Program would be the first step in the right direction. When I first began my college career I didn’t think graduation would come so soon for me because I was able to finish in three years instead of four. This happened so quickly that I wish I could go back and undo the past because I could’ve gave myself the opportunity to apply for the combined B.A./M.A. five-year program; when I considered the opportunity, I had already passed the 100-credit limit and cut my dream short from reality.
While maybe hard to believe, growing up in Northwest Washington D.C., I became accustomed to witnessing discrimination both blatant and covert. My family is one who has always worked diligently on the behalf of others, starting with my grandmother who is a starch advocate for the disabled. My grandmother protected the rights of my aunt who is intellectually disabled and other clients who could not speak for themselves, while my mother is a special education teacher and educator. These experiences inspired my desire to fight for social and civil rights as a civil rights attorney. I have taken several steps in pursuit of establishing my law career that has contributed to my personal development.
In a rural town in Upstate New York, I reside with my husband of 19 years together we have a daughter who is 17 and a son who is 13. Olivia will be going to Medialle College in Buffalo, New York this fall, and Louis will play modified football for the Whitesboro Football team. We are looking forward to retirement and leaving the chaotic weather cycle in New York. My goal is to retire as a corrections officer and further my career as a corrections consultant. July 20, 1992 I started my career as Corrections Officer at the County Sheriff 's Office.
Ladies and Gentlemen: Before stating my intention about the course for which I seek admission to the St Joseph University Criminal Justice Program with emphasis in behavior analysis, I would like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself. I am an African immigrant of Liberian descent. I am the oldest of my parents seven children. The African tradition demands that I am just as responsible for the wellbeing of the family as my mother. At an early age, mother ingrained in me that education was an essential prerequisite to the empowerment I needed to fulfil my obligation to my immediate and extended families and myself.
I have pursued this interest further by attending multiple conferences relating to RE by Peter Vardy that confronted interesting topics of morality in relation to action and helped me gain additional understanding of the inner-workings of moral judgement within actions. My study of French to an AS level has also helped immensely with my ability to communicate, whilst establishing integral memory, listening and text analysis skills, that I feel will be helpful with my study of Law. History has also been an influential subject for me as during my A-Level history course I have encountered some of the most important worldwide uses of Law; including the Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil Rights movements which proved to me the extreme importance of
