After all of the research and the job shadow I still have decided that I want to be a lawyer. I have always wanted to be a lawyer and I still do. I have decided to make law my career. The reason for that is because I like to argue and I like law. Just the whole idea of being in a career that involves law is what I want to do. For example, I would also consider law enforcement an option for me later on in life. Maybe if at one point I cannot continue to be a lawyer then I would change my career into something involving law.
What I want to do first is get an intership at a law firm this summer. Then I will go to a city college in San Francisco. After two years of that I want to get into a four year college to finish up the rest of the two years. I would like to go to either UC Berkeley, or San Francisco State. After the four years of general college, I want to go to a law school, maybe at UC San Francisco, for three years. Then I would like to go into the work force. After working for a few years I want to go back and get my Ph.D. in law. If at one point I do not want to stay as a lawyer I would like to be a judge which, is almost in the same career path.
Job shadowing Kristin has really made me seen that becoming a lawyer is what I want to do. I know that the road leading up to that dream will be hard. There always is a lot of work and dedication involved. However, I am willing to put that much effort. In order to make my dream come true. Another thing that I learned is that being patience will also get so somewhere.
For example, Kristin said that when tough times come a person need to be patience. That person need to be able to endure a lot of things before anything gets done. Those kind of situations are common in a lawyer environment. However, that person must also be aggressive so that their point can be heard loud and clear. Doing this job shadow has taught me a lot about what I want to do. Not only that but it has also taught me life skills.
When it comes down to it I want to thank Kristin. She has made me realized that what I want to do in life, is exactly what I want to do. In a way she has opened my eyes to reality and what I want to do. I knew being a lawyer was hard but I did not know it was that hard. |
