Ever since I was able to acknowledge what a university is, the Southern University Law Center is all that I’ve been hearing from my father’s family. My father is an alumnus of the university, and he would sometimes take me through 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 a greater meaning, all I wanted was to be a part of one of the institutions that had the best to offer for 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 is one of the challenges; now that we have moved closer, I am definitely looking forward to a great experience in my life.
In elite high school, clubs like the Lawyers Society and the Justice for All, which I was actively part of for two years, played a major role in giving me a chance to see the lawyer’s world. 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 the society. I have also been an active member of court sessions that we used to have. 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 so, it has equipped me with the skills to be patient with people and be responsible. It has also equipped me to relate with people and appreciate them for who they are, which I believe will be a vital part of my social life.
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 include 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 an elite high school, something that I do not intend to drop. After high school, I coached two girls’ soccer teams for the town. Passing the 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.
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 very many unread chapters and myself as a very eager child who wants to explore through those pages by probing into all the chapters, detail after detail, which led to my application for a place in 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 in building 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 to involve myself in, both academic and non-academic; thus, I am still interested in being a part of it. 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 amongst all people despite their different backgrounds.
