Within the field of criminal justice, us students are dedicating their lives to working for the people. We are devoting our time, work, and effort to help people that are in need of the help. I personally plan on pursuing a law degree, so I can become an attorney. Every year, many people are wrongly accused of things like rape, assault, or theft. These charges can ruin people’s lives because careers can depend on records, and many further personal reasons. My goal is to be able to stop the wrongly accused, give people a second chance, and place people where they truly belong. Another topic that is very important to me is topics revolving around family law. Child abuse is a very common occurrence today, along with the separation of married couples. Today, around 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Another very sad, but common event is children going to the wrong parent, child support being too high or too low, and problems revolving around children not getting a proper healthy childhood. Granted, not all things can be controlled by the courts if they are not taken there, but the cases that come to me, I want the best outcome to be concluded. Within my current, and probably future community, I have seen many bad households that kids end up trapped in. This can be families around drugs, house hopping, or other horrible occurrences that can lead to a horrible childhood. Luckily, when my parents divorced, it was a healthy divorce and with good attorneys involved to conclude fair results. Overall, within family law, my goal as an attorney would be to conclude fair results and not leave one person way lower than the other. As of right now, I have not concluded what type of law I want to devote myself to, but there are strong reasons behind each one. Another goal of mine within the community would be to help the wrongly accused, and give people a second chance in their lives. In my current job, I have met around a dozen people that have had very hard lives revolving drugs, abuse, and other hardships. Many of those people battle addiction, and have told me specifically they want to stop. Some of them have kids that you can tell they want to change for, but struggle so badly with addiction that they can’t. I want to give these people a second chance to show they are worth something, and be able to hopefully help them learn from their mistakes rather than have their lives ruined by them. Obviously, some will not change, and continue with their ways of drugs and addiction, but even if a few people take the second chance and learn from it, I think it will be worth it. In the end, the community needs attorneys to deliver second chances, and improve people’s hardships with what is truly deserved. Everyone goes through hard times in their life, but sometimes all it takes is one person, which I plan to be, to help them receive a second chance to change their lives, and sometimes their family’s lives for the better.
