Family Connection to Southern University Law Center
Ever since I was able to understand what a university is, the Southern University Law Center is all I have heard about from my father’s family. My father is an alumnus of the university, and he would sometimes tell me about his university days and what they were like during his time. He is definitely a proud alumnus since he still talks about it. As I grew older and university took on greater meaning, all I wanted was to be a part of one of the institutions that had the best to offer their students. All I wanted to do was to tour the Southern University Law Center in Louisiana, but unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to; distance was one of the challenges; now that we have moved closer, I am definitely looking forward to a great experience in my life.
High-School Legal Activities and Preparation
In high school, clubs like the Lawyers Society and the Justice for All, of which I was an active member for two years, played a major role in giving me a chance to see the legal profession. These two clubs equipped me with the knowledge of what to expect in this field, thus giving me a greater sense of wanting to be a part of this field. Nothing is more satisfying than watching justice prevail in society. I have also been an active participant in the mock court sessions we used to hold. To be honest, at some point, I found it quite easy to doubt my ability to handle this, but I was able to overcome it, and now, more than ever, I really want to be in this field. I’m currently working at Lockwood Brothers. This allows me to interact with people from different backgrounds, with different attitudes, etc., and more importantly, it has equipped me with the skills to be patient with people and be responsible. It has also equipped me to relate to people and appreciate them for who they are, which I believe will be a vital part of my social life (American Bar Association, n.d.).
Church Leadership and Community Service
I’ve been an active youth group member in my church, and I was elected as the chairperson in charge of the youth group. I’ve helped organize events for the youth group, which included trips, and the biggest of them was the bishop’s inauguration. I also played soccer in high school and competed with other schools on behalf of my high school, something that I do not intend to drop. After high school, I coached two girls’ soccer teams for the town. Passing my knowledge and skills to another group was fulfilling. It also gave me a great deal of responsibility as I had to take care of the girls.
Future Goals at Southern University Law Center
For the past two years, the Southern University Law Center has given me a greater vision of my future. I see the university as a book with many unread chapters and myself as a very eager child who wants to explore those pages by probing into all the chapters, detail after detail. This led to my application for a place at this great university, but my application was placed on hold for further review. The Southern University Law Center offers me more than a great reputation, which will help me build a better version of myself in different ways. It offers me a large student body with diverse personalities, different attitudes, diverse likes and dislikes, and many activities in which to involve myself, both academic and non-academic; thus, I am still interested in being a part of it. If offered the opportunity to be a part of this great university, I will work towards bettering myself and the people around me and, most of all, fighting for justice among all people despite their different backgrounds (Southern University Law Center, n.d.).
