Topic > Law Student Ambitions - 809

My involvement in student affairs stems from my personal experiences of unintentional but unambiguous injustice at the school level. Economic reality meant moving back and forth between two countries, and the lack of compatibility between the schools' secular curricula left me with no chance of graduating, despite being a good student. Luckily, with the advice and assistance of a knowledgeable community program, I was able to drop out of high school, earn a GED, and enroll in college in the span of two months. The experience encouraged me to mentor others in similar positions whenever possible, and try to create new possibilities in situations where I felt equity was lacking. The first of these opportunities was students with disabilities. My inability is irritable bowel syndrome, which I have learned to manage well through dietary restrictions and relaxation exercises during severe attacks. With this, I was able to work to my full potential, completing twenty-one credit hours in a single semester, averaging a 3.81 per semester while working nights and weekends. However, I would have relapses in subsequent semesters, particularly when it became intertwined with a later diagnosed condition. The new symptoms led to me missing classes and earning temporary incompletes and retroactive grade changes. As I learned to manage new symptoms (this time with medications), I was enraged to learn that students with involuntary medical withdrawals often received transcript notes that were somehow worse than voluntary withdrawals. With the support of Disability Services and the “Student Organization for Every Disability” I have opened a dialogue with the student government and the relevant academic departments in an attempt to change the rules for… middle of the paper… Service companies .IT. The highly autonomous position requires constant, consistent, and rapid deduction to eliminate variables, solve elaborate problems, and keep our clients moving. Additionally, in all the computer science electives I signed up for, including robotics, programming, and artificial intelligence theory, my grades are "A" or better. While I have not yet selected a particular branch of law in which I would like to specialize, I am confident that my interests, academics, and experiences will allow me to be successful in whichever branch I choose. I also know that my holistic value as an individual, student, and professional is not well represented by the results of a standardized test. As a law student, I intend to approach my studies with the same tenacity that has earned me honors, Dean's List, and Magna Cum Laude, but I also remain active in student affairs and help others succeed whenever possible.
