Year 2027 Personal Statement

Improved Essays
It’s the year 2027 and I’m living in Chicago where there are cool springs, somewhat hot, and often humid. I always imagine myself becoming an attorney just not a defense attorney. I always thought I would be traveling around to various cities and countries helping immigrants come to the lovely United States, instead I moved to Chicago to help defend innocent people. I own my own Law Firm called Sommer and Hundley’s Law Associates.
In 2020, I attended Emory Law school in Atlanta,GA. You have to go through a lot of education and training to become a lawyer.

    I am interesting in applying to PLFSOM because I have a desire to ultimately become a primary care physician that works in underserved communities. Coming from a rural area, I know what a lack of providers in a region can do to a community. I have spent a lot of time in border towns since my dads family is originally from Mexico and I have been able to see first hand that even the biggest of border towns still has a very big proportion of their population that is underserved. Right now, I already use my Spanish to help the Spanish speaking patients that we see at our clinic but my Spanish medical terminology is not as strong as I would like. Being able to get my medical education from a school so close to the border would help me become the…

In addition, students must also take multiple exams, like the LSAT (Law School Admission Test) and their state’s Bar Exam, which allows lawyers to legally practice law in their state, but is very difficult to pass. Overall, the schooling to become a lawyer is typically seven years, without any on-the-job training. After twelve years of basic education, this career path might not be appealing to…
