Personal Statement

When I was young, life was just one big mystery. It all started with the huge amount of curiosity within myself. It took over me causing me to become a person that crave for answers of the unknown. Whenever I learned something new, I would want to thrive for more and move. One thing in my life that I always wonder was about what other people around me are really like As time went on, I learned that everyone is different in their own unique way whether it is their experiences in their life, personality, interests or even in their dreams, etc... I have my own aspiration and dreams because I'm unique like everyone else.

As I grew up, I soon took an interest in studying the different nature the people around me. As I observed during school, I found many people to be in different groups. This was quite interesting to me because it got me a step closer to understanding others. The kids in my school were separated into different groups causing me to wonder which group I would belong to. I did not come up with an answer at that moment because I simply could not. I was different. I wasn’t like anyone else, and this made me really sad. I couldn’t relate to anyone at all. Eventually, I became a person that would assume things right off the bat about other people by only first impression. Despite all of this, it led me to finding a purpose and a dream.

This dream was to become a lawyer. A really close mentor and friend of mine told me everything about being a lawyer. He shared his view about the legal system and told me of not only of its hardship but also its benefits. He told me that there are all kind of people in this world. Everybody have their own troubles, but all they need is someone to be there and listen to their worries. By doing so, lawyers would be able to become their guardians and defend them through justice in court. These things that I learned from him really made me think. All my life, I have been trying to figure people out and now I have been given a chance to do just that. I wanted to be remember by the people around me. It just did not feel right if I had to leave this world with a empty story left behind. The dream of becoming a lawyer shone me a door of being able to have a chance to be remember by many people. Case after case, I would be helping people all around. Each time I defend a person, that person and their family would be able to remember me because I was there to defend them in their time of need.

Dream and aspiration is important to me because it change me as a person. I’m grateful for that because the world have changed in my eyes which changes my perspective on other people. I came to a realization that there are so much to meet the eye. This ultimate shaped my gifts and talents of being able to understand other people more. At one time in life, I have witness the death of a really close friend of mine. This led me to a path of astray of hopelessness. I did not know where to go at that moment on. I realized that the world is not the place that I thought it to be. Responsibility began to take a hold of me making me want to become a better person. This responsibility became a new drive for me. Life has became a job where I have to become a person that would be able to help others through hard times. I need to be able to listen to them intently, and be able to get them through whatever problems they are having. I have done this tons of time before with the people close to me like my family members and my friends. However, this experience made me realized that I have to step out even more. I need to take a risk and come out of the safety zone and be able to help strangers. Everybody deserved a chance to be heard which is why I decided to listen to them no matter what. If others make fun of me for helping a certain type of person, I would not give them the time in the world to actually care what they say.

This experience was a moment I can never forget. It was a turning point in my life. It build upon by my resolution of becoming a lawyer. I moved on in life because I have goal. I feel that if I would be able to attend this school then new opportunities will be given to me. I would be able to experience new events that hopefully able to build upon my resolution positively. I can never forget about all of the past events that I have been through nor will I ever will forget any events that shaped my life in any size and form because ultimately I owe it to all of those things for making me to be the person I am today. I will continue to strive forward no matter what and hopefully someday my dream will come true.
