My career choice is to become a lawyer. At this moment, I am seeking a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and am planning to go to law school after graduation. At this moment, I am still conflicted on what area of law, as there are plenty of places where I believe I could help someone. I feel drawn to where I believe I can make an impact. If I'm being honest, before thinking of becoming a lawyer, I almost joined the Air Force because I wanted to become a victim's advocate. I planned on having a degree in either psychology or sociology. I was at a conference at AASG, where a victim advocate from the FBI spoke about her experience in helping victims of human trafficking. For me, it was a big wake-up call that my small town and small state are also being affected by the things I hear about in the lower 48. I then gave up on that idea as I started doubting myself and how I thought I wouldn't be able to help others. I continued into the freshman year of college undecided and honestly questioning what I should do, because I knew what I wanted to do. I went through a lot of struggle, and I needed a lot of convincing from my family, friends, and even professors that I can strive for better. In a pre-law club meeting, I spoke about how I felt I belonged more to bookwork and being in the background than a judge from California and Dr. Carol Gray from the political science department. Both of them encouraged me that I could work from more than just the background, that I have more to myself than I give myself credit for. I had only met them that day, but it changed my perspective. If I could do more, why would I settle for less? I now want to have more of an impact in not just advocating for victims' well-being, but also to be able to advocate for their justice as well. I wish to be an advocate for other's especially when they don't have the means, the courage, or the knowledge in law. When I find myself confused by legal jargon in my class, I wonder how victims, civil or criminal, must feel in their cases. I also have heard and seen that Alaska is lacking in the legal department, and that there is a shortage of legal representatives. I want to be able to contribute more to a community that I see and love.
