My desire to practice law is deeply rooted in my passion for justice, equality, and the empowerment of individuals through legal advocacy. The law serves as the backbone of our society, governing interactions and ensuring that rights are protected. Pursuing a career in law is not just about understanding statutes and regulations; it is about using that knowledge to make a positive impact on people's lives and the community at large. One of the primary reasons I want to practice law is my commitment to social justice. Throughout my life, I have been profoundly affected by instances of inequality and injustice that I have witnessed. Whether it is discrimination based on race, gender, or socioeconomic status, the disparities in our society are glaring. Practicing law offers a unique opportunity to address these issues head-on. By becoming a lawyer, I can work towards dismantling systemic barriers and advocating for those who may not have a voice. Legal representation can make a significant difference in the lives of marginalized individuals, and I am determined to contribute to this cause. Additionally, I am drawn to the intellectual challenge that law presents. The legal field is dynamic and ever-evolving, requiring continuous learning and adaptation. I thrive in environments that stimulate critical thinking and problem-solving. The intricate nature of legal cases, where each detail can influence the outcome, appeals to my analytical mindset. Practicing law will allow me to engage in rigorous research, construct compelling arguments, and navigate complex legal systems. This intellectual rigor is not just a personal interest but a necessity to effectively advocate for clients and achieve just outcomes. Moreover, the role of a lawyer extends beyond the courtroom. Lawyers have the power to influence policy and drive legislative change. This aspect of the profession is particularly appealing to me, as it aligns with my interest in public service. By engaging in policy work, I can help shape laws that promote fairness and protect the rights of all individuals. Whether it is advocating for criminal justice reform, environmental protections, or healthcare access, the ability to effect change at a systemic level is a driving force behind my pursuit of a legal career. I am also motivated by the opportunity to empower others through legal education. Knowledge of the law is a powerful tool that can help individuals make informed decisions and stand up for their rights. As a lawyer, I can contribute to community outreach programs, providing legal education and resources to those in need. This proactive approach to legal advocacy can prevent injustices before they occur and foster a more informed and empowered society. Additionally, personal experiences have shaped my desire to practice law. I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact that effective legal representation can have. Whether it was a family member navigating a complex immigration process or a friend facing a challenging legal dispute, the difference that a knowledgeable and compassionate lawyer made was undeniable. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the importance of the legal profession and have fueled my determination to become a lawyer who can make a similar positive impact. In conclusion, my desire to practice law is driven by a commitment to social justice, a passion for intellectual challenge, and a dedication to empowering individuals through legal advocacy. The legal profession offers a unique platform to address societal injustices, influence policy, and make a tangible difference in people's lives. I am eager to embark on this journey and contribute to a more just and equitable society through the practice of law.

Studying political science opens up a realm of opportunities to make a tangible difference in our communities. This field offers insights into government systems, policy-making processes, and the impact of political decisions on society. By pursuing a degree in political science, I aim to understand the intricate mechanisms of governance and use this knowledge to advocate for positive change at the local, state, and national levels. One of my primary goals is to engage in community advocacy and public policy. Political science will equip me with the skills to analyze and influence policies that affect my community. By understanding the legislative process and the role of various stakeholders, I can work towards creating policies that promote social justice, economic equity, and environmental sustainability. I foresee myself collaborating with grassroots organizations to address pressing community issues. For instance, I could work with advocacy groups to promote voter education and increase civic participation. By organizing workshops and campaigns, I can empower citizens to understand their rights and responsibilities, ensuring that their voices are heard in the political arena. Additionally, I plan to use my political science education to foster a culture of transparency and accountability in local government. I aspire to work with city councils and community boards to implement policies that encourage open government practices. This includes advocating for accessible public records, regular town hall meetings, and platforms where citizens can express their concerns and suggestions. Another way I envision benefiting my community is through public service. By running for local office or working in government agencies, I can directly influence policy decisions that impact the lives of residents. My background in political science will enable me to make informed decisions that reflect the needs and aspirations of my community. Whether it's addressing affordable housing, improving public transportation, or enhancing educational opportunities, I aim to be a catalyst for positive change. Furthermore, I see the value in educating the next generation about the importance of political engagement. By partnering with schools and youth organizations, I can develop programs that teach young people about the political system, critical thinking, and the importance of civic duty. These initiatives can inspire future leaders and create a more politically aware and active citizenry. In summary, my pursuit of political science is driven by a commitment to serve and improve my community. Through advocacy, public service, and education, I plan to leverage my knowledge to create policies that promote justice, equity, and sustainability. By empowering citizens and fostering transparent governance, I aim to build a community that is informed, engaged, and capable of driving positive change.

So, I'm on Twitter right? Im scrolling through the various stories, Laughing at the random posts I see from the people I follow, and i just so happened to click the "Trending" button. The first one I see says Ted Cruz. Being from Texas, the first thing I think is "what did he do now"? I click his name, and I see he has a beef with Big Bird? Big Bird....the lovable, huge bird that lives on Sesame Street, that's done nothing to anyone..that Big Bird? Then it becomes clear. Big Bird got the COVID vaccine. Why Cruz decided to go after someone as iconic as him. This is what makes me worry about the future of humanity. There are more serious things to be worried about in this world, and he chose Big Bird. I don't like how the COVID vaccine has become politicized, and going after a figure, such as Big Bird, who is just trying to encourage kids to get vaccinated when their tie comes, is just plain ignorant, and wrong..as we saw with the comments from all the posts about him.

In 1996, 3 African American boys were the targets of daily racism in elementary school. They were constantly harassed, beaten, and berated, as they tried to simply get an education. As the days went on, they wondered if anything would change as the threats did not stop. They all grew up, and are leading great lives. These 2 boys were my brothers, and I was the other. As we dealt with the fallout and lawsuits, I met lawyers that would change my life forever. At this moment, this is when I became fascinated with law. I wanted to know everything about it. The legal process became ingrained in my mind, as I started reading about court cases, and other legal readings..as a 3rd grader! As I grew up, no matter what I did, I knew that becoming a lawyer was the career choice I wanted to take. Throughout my career as a future lawyer, I hope to accomplish the feats that my lawyers did for me. I want to be able to give comfort to the clients, while going throughout the legal process. I want to be able to win for them, and give them the justice that I’m still searching for after 20+ years. I want to be able to everything I can to make the community, and world around me a better place for future generations, by hopefully helping in push legislation that helps them as a whole. Overall, I hope to, at least, help one person, so that they won’t have to go through the same thing as I did all those years ago. In America today, we see a great majority of African Americans, especially males, being locked up in jails and prisons, not to mention being killed by police in the last decade. This is a problem, and it needs to be changed. In becoming a lawyer, I will strive to change the legal system for not only African Americans, but people everywhere when it comes to the inadequacies of our legal system.

"If your dreams don't scare you, they are too small". - Richard Bronson Ever since I was little, I wanted to become a lawyer. I would watch television shows focused on law, read law journals, and even play lawyer around my friends for practice. When I graduated high school, I knew that this would be an upward battle, as African American lawyers are few and far between in the grand scheme of things. I would be embarking on a journey to become one of the few that chose as a profession. This quote is special to me because it keeps me going, not only in school, but in life as well. Everything that I wanted to achieve in life has not been easy, and I know that if I continue, everything that I've ever wanted will come to pass. My dreams are my as big as Everest, and I won't let the height of it all stand in my way. I'll climb them and reach the top of everything I've ever wanted in life!
