Personal Narrative: A Career In Business Law

During my two last years of high school, i've been in contact with a lot of colleges and universities. Many of which don’t get my attention. Throughout my whole high school years, there was only one college that i wanted to go to, Liberty University. I have heard so many wonderful things about Liberty and what i loved the most was that it was a christian school. Liberty had the number one thing that i am looking for in a college, that is a christian school, but many of my other things that i look for in a college where just not there. I used to live in Florida approximately 11 years ago and let me tell you, it's hard not to miss the sunshine state. Liberty is in Virginia, a state where it doesn't feel like home. When i received a brochure

I am interested in the business major because I plan on using what I will have learned in this major putting it toward what I want to do in my future, whether it be continuing on my dad’s business or starting something of my own. I have been around it all of my life with my dad owning two concrete businesses, I know what it is like to have a career in business. From growing up around it and eventually working for my dad I have learned the effort, time and dedication it takes. Those are reasons why I want to go into a major in business, because those are all traits that I have and that would really help for me to succeed.

As an aspiring lawyer, I find that concentrating on the Legal Studies in Business major will prepare me greatly for my future. I will be able to take advantage of courses, like the TIDES seminar: Law & Order, taught by Sanda Groome. This course will grant me opportunities to engage in field lessons, such as sitting in on trials, or touring courthouses. These Experiences will allow me to learn first hand what to expect as a future lawyer, which is essential for my success after

What? What happened? Elder law attorney and estate planning JD. Erin Miller explained what her job consists of working with elderly adults during an interview in class. She is certified as an Elder Law Attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation. The National Elder Law Foundation website (www.NELF.org) will assist you in finding an attorney in your area along with any special needs or concerns. JD. Miller discussed how she became an attorney. She is a graduate of York College PA, and she majored in Chemistry, which I find her (pg.7) life transition fascinating! I admire her career path from science to law, and now helping elderly people which in my opinion shows benevolence towards older adults. Looking at how hard it is to become a lawyer by going to grad school and taking your LSAT’s is hard enough. The fact that she went through hoops to get certified through NLF shows that she has compassion for older individuals and she loves her job. During this interview she raised a few questions as to

First I just want to point out the obvious and say that you have an enormous heart. It must be so hard for you meeting these inmates and seeing their potential and most times seeing them revert to their old ways. I think that has to be the most painful part of it all. I know your supervisor once told you “our mission can’t be affected by individual successes or failures.”- Alice Layton. Which is what kept you going. It’s true, but it doesn’t take the sad disappointing feelings away. It’s amazing what you do, but it’s also very hard emotionally. For that I salute you. I love how invested you truly are. That fact that they feel comfortable enough to speak to you about the crimes they have committed is insane. That just goes to show how committed you are to helping them better themselves. In addition to

Michigan’s great name and ranking would be enough for nearly every applicant to want to Michigan Law. However, when I started looking closer at law schools and what they stand for and areas of expertise I found that Michigan aligns with my belief and interest more than any other law school I have seen. Not only is the reputation of the school so good that it is recognized everywhere but the tradition and location of the school is just as impressive. While I would also enjoy escaping the hot Texas climate but the values and of the school are something that I love even more about the school. The belief in interdisciplinary learning and actions is something that I think is important for being able to work on some of the most difficult issues

Prior to returning to college, I worked as a paralegal in various areas of law. The majority of my paralegal career was focused on family and criminal law. My views have changed and evolved over time in how I have witnessed individuals that get caught in the legal system. A good number of legal issues stem from situations that an individual has as much control over as their eye color and the longer I worked in the legal field the more I observed how punishing people for uncontrollable issues in their lives is cruel and unproductive. Eventually, the fruitless legal circle became exhausting and I found myself burnt out, although I still wanted to help the clients I worked with. Consequently, when I considered going back to school, I knew that

As a child I always wanted to be a teacher, until my sophomore year of high school. The class of 2015 attended a tour of the Branch Area Career Center. The Branch Area Career Center is a technical school for high school students. As I walked around to different classes they offered my attention gravitated towards criminal justice. I attended my junior and senior year. My junior year we discussed different aspects of the criminal justice field. Once my senior year came, I job shadowed in my local district court. I was able to watch trials and meet local attorneys. My mentor throughout the year helped me discover my passion for the field of paralegal studies.

I interviewed a woman that works with my mother and have known for several years now. She had been summoned and questioned by attorneys six times. She was only selected three of the six times to serve on the jury. Her first thought was “oh crap.” Although it may not be seen as a very nice response, but it is a very natural human response and she is not the only one who has reacted in that way. She was very nervous receiving the summons; it was something new and practically unknown to her. Some of the questions she was asked were if she owns a gun, if she has a gun in the house, about her education, and mostly just general questions. There is one question that stood out from the others though. Once when being asked by an attorney, she

For the past two summers I had the pleasure of working with an amazing judge. Working with her was the best opportunity that I ever had. The judge’s accomplishments and how she has far she has come in her career especially being a minority, inspired me to believe that I can do anything I set my mind to and nothing can stop me. During my internship period I had the chance to study numerous court cases, file documents and more. Being the fact that I want to pursue a career as a lawyer, my experience at the Criminal Justice Center expanded my knowledge in my career choice and what I was getting myself into. It is one thing to know what you want to be when you grow up but being able to get a firsthand experience was truly memorable and inspirational.

I understand being down this road before, I attended business school after high school, I was able to complete my program while working two, sometimes three, part-time jobs and attended night training to be a state certified first responder and firefighter. Although I succeeded with each, the schedule became tiresome very quickly, I don’t feel that I gave it my all because the focus was too wide. Like you, I plan to schedule time during the week to give my studies my “full” focus.

When I started my law career, I didn’t set out to be a “father’s rights” attorney. I was just taking on cases. I found, much to my delight and my client’s pleasure, that I was very good at what I did, and generally I did well for my clients, whether they were a mother or father. And I still represent as many mothers as I do fathers. But a particular case came into the door one day that had a profound effect on my thinking.

If there is not enough negative starts I can give this attorney! I've heard and read all the "great things" he was doing for his clients, so I decided to give it a try. I contact them through the website/live chat. BEWARE! I specifically asked if there was a consultation fee and they told me no. So they referred me to someone else to an appointment. The person reaching out to make the appointment reached out very fast (Great I thought). We scheduled the appt. I made arrangements to go to the appointment. (asked for time off, arrange babysitting, etc). The day of the appointment came and I learned there is a $90 fee for consultation, when I was initially told it was free. I tried to call the firm and i actually spoke to Mr Kanu. He made it seem

My eyes suddenly lit up after mindlessly scanning the list. “Introduction to Business?,” I thought to myself as I scanned the document. For a couple of years now and counting, my school has decisively partnered with Crafton Hills Community College to allow current high school students to take select college classes after their regular set of classes for no additional cost; every semester, counselors give their juniors and seniors a sheet of paper detailing classes available and until recently, I had not found a course I was remotely interested in. Despite it not being my college major, I have always been engrossed in business and recognized that this was my chance to study a passion of mines. Estatically, I tried to check the box next to “Introduction

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.
