Random #2

I have worked in many different industries trying to discover what it is I want to do for the rest of my life. I have worked in the retail field but I wasn’t happy. I have worked in the Hospitality industry; better than retail but it wasn’t what I was looking for. After all the jobs I have worked, the only thing I knew was that I wanted to help people. I thought maybe the medical field was perfect for me so I registered at Crafton Hills to join their X-ray program. In one class, the teacher required everyone to volunteer one day to get the full experience. After seeing so many injured people suffering and all the blood they had shed, it was then and there I discovered, I cannot work around blood.
 It wasn’t until approximately three years ago when I witnessed an innocent senior citizen, my grandmother, get mistreated by the law. I informed her of her rights and helped her clear her name. It was at that moment I knew I wanted to help people who couldn’t help themselves, didn’t know how to help themselves, or simply couldn’t afford to help themselves. I discovered how much people didn’t know about how the law or the judicial system worked. So I decided to go back to school. Since I have been back, I have been doing very well; I find it much easier now that I’m ready. I find it much more interesting after having the real world experience too.  After researching how attorneys become attorneys and after speaking with a few different lawyers, I chose to major in Political Science. I have enjoyed Political science so much since my first class, I knew I had found my niche.


Because of my passion for law and love for political science, my long term goal is to run my own legal firm. I want to help the good people who deserve help but are unable to afford it.

It's really amazed to know that you want to help people who couldn't/didn't know/couldn't afford help themselves since you are such a good person! Also, I can tell you have so much hard working by your post, it's never easy to chase our dream. Anyway, I hope you can work with everything you loved as soon as possible, good luck!

  2. I find your story inspiring and I love how you have a desire to help others! I also struggled to find what I wanted to do with my life and spent some time at community college to figure it out. I decided on business administration (pre-accounting) because I have a love for math and numbers. I would love to be a production accountant for movies or the entertainment industry because I grew up with a passion for cinema and good storytelling.

  3. It's awesome that you have something you love to do and a specific goal with it. I believe that we can achieve a goal(even big one) when we do something we love. I hope your dream comes true one day!
