Land of Opportunities
Land of Opportunities
I’ve been here for almost two months. Observing and listening to other people’s advice.. Back in the Philippines, I worked in the Government for about 8 ½ years.. being the chief of political affairs of our Mayor in the City, I have the opportunity in dealing with different kinds of people, from rich to the poorest, from (few only) kind politicians to (too much) corrupt Politicians. And most of the problems that I encounter are in Legal aspects. From land issue, to accidents, to assault, to separation, to claims, to traffic violations and more… all of these problems needs advice in a legal point of view and all I need to do is call all of my friends in legal service (public attorney office and some private practicing lawyers) . I have realized that if only I took a course (here they call it Programs) related to legal profession, probably I could help more during I was there. Helping people ever since is my passion..

Now, I’m living here with so much opportunities and have the chance to start a new life. And to start again I want it to be a better one than before but this time I will so much prepared and ready. If I want to help more people I should be educated and equipped with information that will help them especially in a legal battle. And that’s why I want to grab this opportunity to enroll in a Paralegal Program. What more would I ask for? the Government here is very supportive in giving opportunity to everyone. Helping them to achieve their dreams. It will only take one year to finish the program and hopefully I can make it with the help of course of the school I choose.

Thank you

    Navy Paralegal Essay

    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.…

    This summer I had the privilege of job shadowing a great lawyer and family friend, Nancy Bonilla. I have nearly always wanted to be a lawyer, and in all honesty I was a little concerned that after watching a real court hearing, and seeing all the work that lawyers actually have to put into each and every case, I would no longer wish to become a lawyer. However my fears were removed entirely as soon as I walked into her downtown Fort Worth office; the day I had arranged to job shadow Mrs. Bonilla, she had a court hearing in Denton, so immediately upon my arrival I was exposed to the last minute stress of getting the clients case in order. I was able to help Mrs. Bonilla with getting her paper work…

    When I was 16 years old, something struck within me. As I sat in my public safety classroom, I was absorbed by all of the content that was coming towards me. The laws, the court cases, and the case studies piqued my interest. That moment, I realized that I have found my calling. Therefore, I have decided to pursue a profession as a Paralegal, based partly on my teacher, Don Hammond. Given my determined, technological, organizational skills the law career is the correct suit for me. I look forward to begin my life and profession as a paralegal.…

    I have always admired my family members and everything they do. Especially, my mother because i have always followed her footsteps. Even now as i grow into an adult following her footsteps has helped me more than ever with my future of becoming a paralegal. I’ve had the honor of working in a law office and gaining more interest in the profession and even more knowledge of it. In fact, “The Central Florida Paralegal Association (CEPA) was founded in 1938 to serve paralegals through continuing legal education and professional development” according to an article on paralegal411.org.…

    Land of Refuge

    1.) “Throughout its history, the US has been a land of refuge and opportunity for immigrants.” Assess the validity of this statement in view of the experience of the Irish in the 19th century urban northeast.Between the years of 1830 and 1860, immigration from many Europeans countries very much shows that the United States has been a land of refuge and opportunity for immigrants. Because of the high rate of immigrants, looking for refuge from the problems of their homeland, the population of the United States shot up by about six million. The flow of immigrants, choked off by wars in Europe in the first three decades of the nineteenth century, revived in the 1830s. The foreign-born population was vastly made up of immigrants from Ireland. In 1850, the Irish constituted approximately 45 percent of the foreign-born Americans. The mass migration out of their homeland was partly because of the oppression and the unpopularity of the English rule. But the factor that impacted the most was the greatest disaster in Ireland’s history: the Potato Famine. The entire country depended on the potato crop economically and also to feed the population. But between 1845 and 1849, the catastrophic failure of the vital crop caused the devastation of the country. Looking for safety and refuge from this terrible disaster, more than 1.5 million Irish fled to the safe lands of the United States. They fled to the safety of the urban northeast. Without practically any money, unlike the German immigrants, the Irish immigrants settled in the eastern cities to fill them with unskilled labor. The urban northeast gave them, mostly young and single women, opportunities of factory and domestic work. Moving rom the southern counties of Ireland, where there were little to no opportunities and an excess of devastation, to the urban northeast of the United States of America, where opportunities of work were in abundance, the immigrants of Ireland, looking for refuge and opportunity, created a…

    Even though I have spent some time volunteering at the Salvation Army and at the local food bank, I desire to one day spend more time helping out my community. In particular, I would love to give legal aid to immigrants. Many people view immigrants as criminals, but I do not. Growing up in an immigrant household has allowed to see immigrants for what they truly are. That is, they are the most hardworking people one will ever encounter. No matter if the day is scorching hot or freezing cold, immigrants go out to work each day, determined to get ahead in society. Carrying the same work ethic, I plan to overcome the many challenges I will face in law school. I know that in the end, I will successfully overcome such…

    I am not only motivated to make a difference in the communities, but also motivated to join the ranks of a new family. I chose this path because I have always enjoyed the idea of solving situations. I can honestly say I can’t imagine myself doing anything else because I am extremely fascinated by the role and intensity of these fields. Just watching what it takes to do their job is remarkable. That’s why I love this class so much because it’s a learning process for me and my life. It makes my family so proud of me that I’m taking criminal justice and going forward with my education. So all I have to do is stay with it so I can success in this…

    America is well known as the Land of Opportunity because it provides individuals with many different options in life so they can achieve anything they set their mind to, no matter who they are, but is everyone today given that equal right to each opportunity? According to the dictionary equal opportunity is “the policy of treating others without discrimination, especially because of sex, race, or age”. Therefore in my opinion, I do not think America is really the ‘land of opportunity’ for all people equally. Although Americans are entitled to the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the Declaration of Independence to establish equality, the society has taken away our rights. Our liberty gives us the right to be independent…

    Court Application Letter

    This summer I secured political asylum for a client persecuted in her home country for her religious beliefs, authoring all submissions to the Department of Homeland Security and representing her before the Hearing Officer. In a second case, I successfully represented a client facing eviction from public housing, including the examination and cross-examination of witnesses at the Housing Court hearing. I am currently representing an indigent criminal defendant in the appeal of his state court conviction. In addition to authoring the brief, I will be arguing the case next month before the New State Court of Appeals. My longstanding interest in serving as an Assistant United States Attorney dates to my first summer in law school, when I interned in the Major Crimes Unit of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Illinois. I found my work, from assisting in trial preparation on a drug trafficking case to drafting a section of an appellate brief on a Sentencing Guidelines issue, incredibly engaging. Seeing the talent and the dedication of the AUSAs in that office inspired me to want to pursue a career as a federal…
