Professional Goals 2

After and if I get any success in running for the state offices I want, I aim to go further and work on the federal level. I would love to become a senator or a justice on the supreme court. I plan to write alot of papers on theorys of government and the constiution. That is one way that will allow you to gain attention for federal appointments. My alternative back up plan is to become a author of children and teen mystery books. I loved reading those suspeseful mystery when I was growing up, so I feel like I know what one needs to have in it. I also want to set up two foundations one for Altimers and the other for helping abused children. The main reasons I want to set up an foundation for people with Altimers is to educate about the disease, help patients with treatment costs, and giving money to research a cure. This would absolutely be personal for me, when I was in high school my schools chapter of NHS would always volunteer our time at this nursing home I ended up befriending many of the residents. There was one in particular who I began to visit on my own with one of my best friends because she taught us so much. Then one day we came and she didn't even recognize us, it was sad to find out that this whole time she had been battling altimers and that it finally got to her. So if I couldn't do anything anything else once I become successful I want to start this foundation in her honor.

Why I Chose My Major?

          First I would like to say that the major I choice without hesitation was political science. I have many reasons for picking this type of degree to pursue. My first reason was because I knew it would provide me with a foundation if I choose to go to law school. Ever since I was little governments, politics, and how things are run has always fascinated me. I used to always want to watch CNN with my grandfather to know what was happening in the world and often times enjoyed reading the newspaper. I knew political science was going to feed my curiosity of politics and the sort. I always knew that picking this major I would be an well individual once I graduated from college and that I wouldn't be to much limited on what job I could pursue. I will always graduate being a more analytical and critical thinker. I think that is the most important you have to look at what the degree can do for you once you graduate and are in the real world. I love my major and the classes there isn't one day where I dread going to class especially now that I'm in nothing but my major classes.

After the Law Degree

Once you graduate from law school obtaining you juris doctorate and passing the much dreaded bar exam the job possibilities can seem endless. Your JD will hardly limit you on the choice of a career. Of course you can practice law and in many ways. You can work for a private law firm and work for the local/state/national justice departments. If you get the additional certification you can teach government or political science classes in high school. Also you could work as a professor at a law school and eventually make it to dean or president of the school. You could even not actually practice and still have a career making good money. Let's take John Grisham for example he has JD but never practiced law instead he used his degree to write books. Fiction books about lawyers and law that have entertained readers for many years and making him a noted author in retrospect. Some of his books have been adapted to the big screen.
