However, as I gained more information of the law field by discussing it with an
Every day, multitudes of things are competing for our attention. Billboards line every street, commercials interrupt every enticing program, and our phones are constantly beckoning us to check them. And no, this is not the beginning of another trite piece of literature that is going to complain about how the growth of advertising and technological innovation is the decline of the human race. In fact, I embrace it. The world is changing, and with so much to be involved in, competition for our attention is healthy and necessary to keep things that we want to see accessible.
To uphold the law and deliver justice, I need to be in upright standing with the law. I consider myself to be a law-abiding citizen, I have not had any difficulties upholding the law in Nigeria and Canada. Also being a lawyer, means being a representative of the law. This means not having conflicting interests with the law. I know I am actively working with others to maintain the integrity of the legal profession.
When I was younger, one of my favorite things to do was to hop in my grandpa’s old, red Chevy pickup and ride down to our family’s farm with him. We would spend all day doing various jobs including scouting crops. Each summer I would spend more time scouting crops with my grandpa. He would share stories about particular growing seasons that he remembered and he shared a vast amount of agronomic knowledge with me. Over time, scouting with my grandpa turned into a passion.
The University of Pennsylvania promotes this wondrous idea that students should be free to explore, and in the process innovate something amazing. Simply the thought of unrestrained inquiry titillates my expansive curiosity. Just as Magellan, Cabot, and famed explorers of the new world had been fascinated by knowledge beyond their boundaries, I am a conquistador. But rather than pursuing the riches of the Fountain of Youth, I seek the treasures of fruitful study and intellectual endeavors.
When I enrolled into University of Connecticut in 2009, I was living my life conforming to other people's goals and not my own. Life purpose and life intentions are rich and valuable. It can also be helpful in aiding us to move through the challenges life brings us. Self-discovery is an evolving process. Sometimes you have to take a detour in life.
There are many attributes that I could bring to the UW Platteville campus. To start, I am a Christian and I put my faith and my family above everything else. This means that I also uphold the morals and standards set by my faith and family. I love my family and both my parents and my siblings have helped me grow tremendously. I have four siblings ranging from four to fifteen and helping them grow up has also helped me to mature as well.
My desire to pursue an administration degree stems from my original call to the educational field. From a young age, I knew I loved the atmosphere of the classroom. However, it was not until high school that I truly got to spread my wings on an educational plane. Through organizations such as Key Club and National Honor Society, I was able to work with different community outreach programs and teach and assist at the Union Mission New Life Camp and be a teacher’s aid during College for Kids and Dyersburg Primary School.
When I first came to the United State, I did not speak any English, but I had the desire to continue my education and to learn English. Growing up as a child, I only had one dream to become a chemical engineer. However, there have been many different challenges have been part of my journey. I remember starting school when I first came to the United States, at a local community center. Young and dedicated, I decided for the first six months that I would not speak any of my native languages and only focus on English.
My whole life I lived in the suburbs and went to a small elementary and high school. When I had the opportunity to get away from all the same people I have been seeing for the past few years, I took it. At the age of 15, I was seeing my doctor, social worker, and psychologist regularly and was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, combined with Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety. My entire high school life I dealt with mental illness so when it came to the day where I had to apply for the program of my choice, I choose the Psychology profile in the social sciences.
Our country has a long-standing legal system which has evolved in line with social and political changes throughout history. A degree in law is the next stepping stone in my life for me to achieve my goals. I first wanted to go into the field of law after completing a work experience placement at my local Magistrate's court. This experience showed me how the law is applied in our society, as well as proving me with an understanding of workings of a magistrate court. During this placement I had the privilege of shadowing a magistrate, and a solicitor, gaining an insight into the area of civil litigation.
When I first began law school, I was unsure of my direction other than wanting to practice law. I had many people, specifically my family; question me on what type of law I wanted to practice. Typically my response was that I would take classes throughout my three years and I would hope that during one of my classes a switch would flip and I would find my passion. It wasn’t until my fall semester of second year when I took my school’s federal income tax class, that the switch flipped in my mind and I knew that I had found my passion. That class didn’t feel like work or any of my other classes, I enjoyed attending that class more than I enjoyed any other disciple of classes at school.
‘Law Degrees have the sole purpose of training the next generation of professional lawyers’. Law has become an essential part of our day to day lives we live in. it is vital for us to have professional lawyers and a fair and functional legal system. I am going to discuss the statement ‘Law Degrees have the sole purpose of training the next generation of professional lawyers’ in a critical manner giving both the pros and cons of having a law degree and how it will help becoming a professional lawyer. I agree with the following statement ‘Law degrees have the sole purpose of training the next generation of professional lawyers’ because one of the most beneficial aspects of a law degree is an understanding of the law.
My passion towards the study of Law is much different than that of a typical Pre-Law student. I had to fight to find the connection that led me towards considering a legal career. It wasn’t until recently that I started listing “passionate” as a skill set on my resume. I always aim to act ethically and think morally, but when I was exploring the variety of jobs available to me I became unsure of which career I could apply my core values to. Throughout my life I have always been the midpoint of legal conflict.
Support in legal services to public sector are much needed as well as the government is in the process of a large-scale transformation to achieve higher government productivity and better public services. I am also planning to be more active in legal knowledge sharing movement through academic law teaching and off-campus workshop. I find that practical knowledge or experience sharing is important to address the gap between the theoretical concepts and what happens in the ‘real world’. I believe that the future generation of Indonesian people depends on how we, the current generation, can affect them with what we do now. I feel morally oblige to contribute in the legal education so that future generation have the legal knowledge they require to establish a fair and function legal system in
