My goal in life is being a defense lawyer. Being a lawyer, I would be heavily involved with government, especially the justice department. As a defense attorney would require me to work hand in hand with the justice department. One issue I’m very passionate about is criminal rights in trials. I want to make sure suspects are treated fairly and justly and that the innocent remain free while

As I look at my future in law school and my eventual career as an Assistant U. S. Attorney (AUSA), I am forced to ask myself, “How will I achieve all of this?”. I started this path all the way back in high school, although then it was a road to a different goal. At first, I wanted nothing more than to be a prosecuting attorney and to argue in court. I prepared myself as best I could during my undergraduate years. I took extra courses and had several legal internships to help prepare me for my journey. However, as I have grown as a person and experienced more of the legal system, my career goals have grown as well. Upon learning more about the federal courts, I aimed my sights higher for my career goals, to become an AUSA.

(“Being a Lawyer”) Criminal lawyers provide the elements that will help allow a jury to find a criminal guilty or not guilty. (pg. 27) Most lawyers work is done outside of the courtroom, so it is important to make sure you choose a major that will help strengthen your reading and writing skills. (p 17) As for law school, it is tough, especially the first year, but it is doable with hard work and dedication. (Christine Bachmann) There are also multiple tests that must be taken and passed. These tests include the Law school admissions test, the college composition and modular test, and the bar exam. (“Steps to becoming a lawyer in California”) Although this might seem like a lot of work, the excitement of the ever-changing job itself is worth it.

In 2012, a 14-year old girl was shot in the head on a bus ride home from school in Pakistan. She was targeted by the Taliban because she believed in the rights of education for women and was not afraid to take a stand against this oppressive regime. Malala Yousafzai at 17-years old is a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Since then, Malala has opened schools in Lebanon, has a charity called The Malala Fund, and continues to speak to world leaders to fund the right for education. Malala is a pioneer for educational rights, just as I hope to be a pioneer for chemical engineering.

There have been a few people in my life in the legal field who have influenced my decision to pursue a job in the legal field. I had a few friends that had pursued degrees in law, but at the time that I was studying for my bachelor's degree my mind was far from any jobs in the legal field. My BFA was in Creative Writing and after I had graduated from college I began to look for jobs. I had difficulty finding work, but I tried my hand at a few things and was unsatisfied with the jobs that I had been working. So, I started contemplating new avenues of study. It was during my contemplations that my mother and I started watching the trial of Jodi Arias. While we watched this high profile murder case unfold I became inspired by the prosecuting attorney, Juan Martinez.

My name is Elana Sanguigni, and I am a sophomore student at Pine-Richland Senior High School in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania. My interest in the Health Career Academy is immense, and I exhibit a profound interest in a future career in the health industry. The Health Career Academy, would provide enlightening educating opportunities to gain valuable knowledge, pertaining to various health careers. Though I have conducted some research and analyzed various health career fields, I truly aspire to explore and learn more in order to academically prepare for a future in the health industry. My academic love for Biology, Chemistry and all science courses, in addition to my love and care for people have led me to inquire a path of future health careers to utilize my desire to help people.

As I near the end of my high school experience, I’m faced with the onerous task of selecting my future occupation. After years of deliberation and introspection, I’ve come to the conclusion that it would be in my best interest to continue on the path I’ve known thus far; therefore, I plan to advance my studies in law following my departure from high school. I feel as though this is what I’m called to do. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always possessed the zeal to advocate for those in need. This particular career field also holds several key components that suit my ideal job description.

From the time I was five, I have studied a large range of music including piano, clarinet, viola, cello, and voice. Generations of the Seaver family have always been first chair in the orchestra or the strongest vocal in the chamber choir. From an early age, my mother pressed my three siblings and I to surround ourselves with music but I struggled to get along with every instrument she put in my hands. My clarinet always squawked and when I pressed my bow to my viola, it sounded more like it was screaming than singing.

It’s no lie that being a lawyer is a demanding job. It requires a lot of education before one gets to their goal, the job itself can often require long hours at the office writing up cases, and not to mention that it is highly competitive to achieve a top spot in the career. It is however also no lie that it can be a very rewarding job, I can’t imagine a better job than being able to fight for true justice every day and knowing that you are serving your community. Not to mention it can be quite invigorating. It all begins however with the education. This then leads you to the type of work in law that one desires and eventually, with the right amount of effort, a high position within the field.

The work of a lawyer at times can be exhaling and hard. Lawyer have to speak and show in court on behalf of clients, prepare paper work, and interpret laws and rulings. Lawyer have many more duties to there clients and firm. Family lawyers have to deal with divorce, child custody, and adoption trials. There is no set hour for lawyers they have to be on call 24/7. ("Lawyers: occupational outlook handbook:: U.S bureau of labor statistics") Many work in offices going over paperwork and doing research but some travel to meet clients and appear in court.

Success in this endeavor will depend upon a quality analysis of these aspects, and the proper application of that knowledge. My effort in gaining a quality education is the
