Law School
Essay One
Many college
students know exactly what field to enter after graduation
and have been preparing for that field over the course of
their entire college career. However, I had difficulty discovering
a career field rewarding enough to devote my entire life to,
a career field worthy of education. While I had always considered
pursuing the law and majored in public policy as an undergraduate,
I was never passionate about it. I didn't have clear goals,
and it seemed to me as if my degree and my circumstances were
pushing me into studying the law; I needed to rediscover why
I fell in love with the law in the first place.
As a
college senior, I took the LSAT because all of my classmates
were taking it. I did not prepare, and I really did not
want to attend law school after college; thankfully, my
low LSAT score guaranteed this. I needed to understand more
about life before I could give myself to a career. After
being in school for about two decades, I felt completely
out of touch with reality and did not think I would ever
find career direction by attending more schooling. With
these thoughts in mind, I determined I needed real-world
experience to help me find the direction I so desperately
sought.
I accepted
an investor relations position in New York that tested both
my intelligence and my work ethic. The first few months
moved at a hectic pace as I attempted to acquire knowledge
of my new pursuit and to control the responsibilities assigned
to me. However, I quickly adjusted and maintained a schedule
of seventy-hour workweeks. Because of my hard work and growing
expertise, my colleagues began to acknowledge me as an important
member of the organization and my opinion became respected
and sought out. This respect provided me with a great deal
of confidence, and I began to realize that I had unlimited
potential. I had finally regained the attitude necessary
for success, and my recent LSAT score is a testament of
this self-awakening.
While
I may not have taken the direct route to law school, I took
the course that suited me well. I needed to find goals that
would drive me through all-nighters and exam periods. Over
the course of the past few years, I have transformed from
an inexperienced college graduate to a respected professional.
My departure from classroom study has helped me grow into
a more confident, independent individual who has developed
the ability to set goals and focus on the path to achieving
them. I believe I am now prepared to make the most of my
future educational experiences, and I hope for the opportunity
to do this at ______.
