Free College Admissions Essays: My Passion For Law

Decent Essays
“A lawyer is required to be talented and further a hard worker” Those were the very first words I was told by my father after I decided to become a lawyer, and those exact words have inspired me throughout my profession. My passion for law can be tracked back to my childhood, when I was seven years old as I saw my father for the first time in trial, standing for his client´s rights. The correctness and the pursuit of the truth held in that trial made me realize that there are not greater people rather than those who devote their time and lives in order to help those in need.
I have always been a determined person, willing to give everything in order to accomplish my dreams. Ever since my second semester in law school I decided that I have

The results were outstanding, a couple months after, I was able to speak properly, and when I decided to take a placement test at Alliance Française-Quito I was sent directly to level 10 out of 15, proving that when I want something I get …show more content…
What I am trying to say is that I´ve been working on myself to get accepted into the LSE ever since my first day at law school. As I said before, I am a really determined person, I know what I want, and what I want is the LSE; not because it’s the world´s seventh best school for studying an LL.M. and nor because it´s among the best research universities in the Russell Group, but because it´s an ancient institution which basis their studies in facts, which preaches the pursuit of truth, the same pursuit I witnessed on that trial when I was seven years old, I guess is not a coincidence that the LSE´s motto is Rerum Cognoscere

Despite the age of commercialization, the profession of law continues to regulate formal admission. The author argues that the commercialization of law depends on several factors such as the decision to become a lawyer, the rites of passage, the dynamics of gender and generation and finally, personal choice. Through interviews of lawyers, the author describes their different motivations for choosing law as a profession. Most of the men and women chose law as a career because they wanted to be respected by the community and gain independence from others.…

    Growing up in a working class home, I quickly gained the skills of an environmentalist, entrepreneur, and civics leader. I can still recall the smell of the flowering fruit trees of the summer months in sunny South Florid and how every year I would gather the abundance of extra fruit in our backyard and distribute them to our extended family, friends, and neighbors. In our modest home, nothing was ever thrown away, and items would be recycled many times. At the age of nine I was serving hot coffee and small pastries at the walk-up window of the small Cuban café my parents owned. As the United States prepared to celebrate its bicentennial, in the afternoons with a small booklet in hand, I drilled my mother test questions to prepare her for the…

    I have lived in seven different households throughout my childhood. My parents had to pass me from household to household, because they were busy working day and night in order to provide for my family. I resided in several cities and states throughout these years, but the one thing that remained constant was my curiosity. Moving houses meant always having new people to get acquainted with and better understand. There was not much to do as a kid, so naturally, I listened attentively whenever my family members would tell me about their day and even tried to listen through the door when the adults were talking about their problems.…
