As a child, I often found myself advocating for those who couldn’t speak for themselves. Whether it was helping a classmate who was being bullied or standing up for a friend who was wronged, I always had a strong sense of justice and fairness. These early experiences sparked an interest in the legal field, where I realized I could use my voice and passion to create real change.

My interest in law grew stronger during high school when I participated in a program for youth leadership development. One of the key topics we explored was social justice, and it was here that I learned about the powerful impact that legal professionals can have on society. This inspired me to explore law as a potential career path. I soon joined my school's mock trial team, where I had the opportunity to take on various roles—from presenting arguments to cross-examining witnesses. The excitement I felt in those moments made me realize that law was the right path for me.

In college, I majored in Sociology, which allowed me to study social issues and explore how legal systems interact with marginalized communities. I also volunteered at a legal aid clinic, where I worked with attorneys to assist low-income individuals with family law cases. Through this experience, I saw firsthand how critical legal support is for those who cannot afford it. I was inspired by the attorneys I worked with, who dedicated their time to fighting for the rights of others.

My time in college, both academically and through volunteering, has only strengthened my desire to become a lawyer. I am committed to using my legal education to advocate for those who are often overlooked or dismissed by the legal system, and to work toward a more just society for all.
