College Essay

There is only one to many things that inspires a person. One to many things a person wants to be. One to many things people need, want, have, see in life. The amazing thing about life is you learn everyday, see the truth about life, and experience change. When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a model because I loved fashion, clothes, and hair but things changed. I grew up, seen things differently, wanted more in life, and wanted change. My life time dream and goal is to be a lawyer and change the world.

Growing up all I hear from my mom is one important thing in life is education, education, education and stuck to my head. Unfortunately, my family is not the typical family. I have a big messed up family, different dads and moms but the great thing about us is we stick together and take care of each other. Everybody is there for the other in times of needs, which is a good thing. Not everyone is successful in my family, matter of fact I'll be the first to finish high school. Not only did my mom stick it in my head but I actually like school, I like to learn. Everyday in school is a new thing for me, it is interesting and inspiring for me. When I learn a new thing, I feel happy and want to tell everyone.

There is many reason why I want to become a lawyer. One of the most important reason is to change the way people receive justice. The thing that inspired me the most is what I seen with my eyes. Whether it was real life or on television, I wanted to change not only for me but for others and their loved ones. I always felt people were getting the wrong justice or not enough justice. Another reason is for my mom, she always hoped and dreamed that one of her children would finish school and become a doctor or something. I always wanted to make her happy and put a smile on her face because she deserves it. My mom raised 9 kids on her own, suffered it keep us happy and alive, lost her mom to cancer at the age

    The law and its ever-changing characteristics intrigued me at a very early age. Growing up, I wanted to be a lawyer. My goal of becoming a lawyer was a bit impractical due to my procrastination after high school graduation and because of my past financial situation. Not knowing what to do then, led me to join the Navy. The Navy afforded me the opportunity to go to school while working and it also allowed me to change jobs so that I can choose something closely related to my goal of becoming an attorney. That’s when I became a Paralegal, or “Legalman” as the Navy calls it.…

    There is a fire that ignites within me when I talk about my aspirations in life. A fire that burns so brightly that it can not only be seen physically in the way my hazel eyes light up, but felt radiating from my soul through the conversations that others have with me. Even when I was younger this fire always burned within me to better the world and aid those suffering in it. For some of my friends this same fire manifested into them becoming doctors, for me however it manifested into becoming a marine mammal veterinarian.…

    Systematic risk is primarily based on the risks that are associated with actual or real events that may affect the market. This includes interest rates, inflation, wars and all that can affect the market and cannot be avoided through diversification. Systematic risk can be associated with riskier securities if and when compared to bonds. This rate of return is mainly unpredictable but can be profitable. My reasoning for allocating the funds amongst the three asset categories involve the rule of thumb. The rule has no substantial or proven evidence to be correct but it can be used to allocate funds. This rule of thumb requires that investors take their age, subtract it from one hundred, and then use that number on equities. Once done, use the percentage for equities and subtract it from one hundred and use that amount for bonds. Not only did I use the rule of thumb, I also based my investment on how and when I would like to receive the return. I choose to invest a larger amount of funds in equities mainly because I wish to make substantial returns and can tolerate a restively long investment time frame. I also believe that I should make a riskier investment in equities. This is due to the fact that I am fairly young and if I were to encounter a loss, I could bear it and have time to revive myself. On the other hand, I chose a smaller amount to invest in bonds because I do not have a need to preserve my assets and can stand to have fluctuations in the value of my asset. Lastly I did not invest as much into cash because I do not believe that it is necessary to have a maximum return on my money. I believe that my primary focus should be in equities because I can receive a higher return and if needed I could recover quickly. Many people may believe that this method is not strategic and may not work but honestly there is no proven strategy for allocating funds for investments. Many people…

    I always loved school, and I was a fast learner. I was praised for my accomplishments at an early age and I believe that the satisfaction I gained from impressing others was motivation that impacted my future. I continued to do the best I could in school. My mother was very strict and tough on me when reviewing my work, ripping my essays if I wrote in sloppy handwriting and erasing all of my math problems if I got more than one wrong. It was emotionally difficult but I eventually toughened up, and her training made me a more diligent student. The only motivation I would have was the praise I would receive for amazing scores on my work. Eventually, I stopped being praised and it was devastating for me. I entered middle school and I continued…

    School has always been a big thing in my family for me because my mommy never went to college. She had me at a young age and both of her parents were dead when she had me, therefore she kind of had no choice but to raise me rather than put me off on someone else as there responsibility. From all of that happening to my mom, her dad dying while she was 13 and her mom when she was 16, and having me at 17 she had no other choice but to grow up very fast.

    I did not look up to anyone in my family and I did not admire any actor, actress, athlete, etc. I made it my goal in life to become something that will better not only myself, but my family as well. Most importantly I want to be someone my daughter, Kierra, will want to look up too. I want my daughter to have a better, more fulfilling life than I had growing up. I strongly believe that I can not help her until I have helped myself first. I want her to realize the importance of going to college. I do not want her to think it is acceptable to go from job to job and never own or amount up to anything. I want her to understand that by not going to college she will most likely become unemployed sometime in her life and then she will have to rely on family, friends, or the government to help her get by. I also feel it will be like a monkey see monkey do scenario. As a parent, I will have a profound influence on her educational achievements. By having a bachelor's degree, I feel she will most likely become more educated, because she will look up to me. I really wish I would have had parents who went to college, so I could have looked up to them in an educational sense. Kids chose who they are close too to be role models, in good or bad situations. Child look to role models to assistant in shaping their behavior and decision making. Children chose role models who are achievers, because it helps them with self confidence and it helps them to push themselves in life to achieve great things. By placing a strong value on my education, she will do the same with her education. I hope she realizes that everything I am doing, I am doing it for our family and one day we will have a nice house, instead of an apartment. Right now as a certified nursing assistant, I can not provide for her as I would like too. I would love to be able to take her on vacations and to see the world and learn about other places and cultures, but financially…

    I 'm torn about the cost- benefit analysis between deciding to increase taxes to alleviate pollution and improve the environment. The cost of gas is expensive enough and car companies are employing new tactics to alleviate most of the pollution that cars cause, by the use of electric cars, cars that have higher gas mileage, smaller cars, smaller engines and inspection regulations for each automobile to be done every year. As far as raising gas prices, I think that will cause more damage than good. People rely too much on transportation nowadays to make gas expensive. It would potentially put the economy back into a recession.…
