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!
