More Thoughts About Supplements

There are times in life when epiphanies occur, sometimes its your first day of work or school, you know someone will be your friend, you know you will love your teacher or your boss. Some epiphanies happen after months or years of deliberation. I had one of each, while I was attending art school I decided I wanted to become a lawyer. It slowly came to me but I realized one day after attending for three years it was what I wanted to do. My first day of work as a graphic designer I knew that I needed to find something else. In spite all of the fun I was having playing with toys. When I came to KLO or Kroontje Law Office as it's known to the rest of the world, I knew it was perfect, the beginning of something great. I never knew what it was like to really love going to work until I started here. At KLO I began learning about litigation from the inside out. Seeing the practice of law up close made me more determined to attend law school. I have gained immense respect for the practice of law and am excited for the opportunity study and become a practicing professional. After researching all the schools, I think your program would be the best fit for me, I am especially interested in some of the student organization specifically Technology Law Society and Public Interest Law Foundation. The schools legal writing program seems both unique and extremely beneficial. I believe School of Law has just began it's climb to the top teir of law schools in the US and I would be honored to continue to build its prestigious reputation.

Supplement to Personal Statement
We were all asked, when we were kids, what we wanted to be when we grew up. When I was 8, I wanted to be a soccer player, at 13 a pianist, 16 an artist, and at 20 a lawyer. As we grow up the things that we want to do change. I don't want to be a lawyer because it's a good career I want to be a lawyer because I discovered there are three things in life that I am interested in doing forever, learning, helping, and changing. I want to be a lawyer because it's a dream, not a good financial decision, I look around and I see so many people who want to implement change, want to talk about all of the things that could be made better. I want to be one of the people that listen, and make change.
I recently became a legal assistance in the smallest law firm you can imagine, me and 1 lawyer. It is breathtaking, spectacular, fun? It is the most exciting educational experience I could imagine and I look forward to the opportunity to engage further in the legal profession.
Something serendipitous happened to me, the engine mount on my car broke causing my engine to fall out of the bottom of my vehicle. To some this may not seem to be a particularly good but to me, it was beneficial. It led me to take a job as an assistant to an attorney in down town who has recently started his own practice.
Since then I have been engaging is all kinds of exciting litigation, I have become acquainted with many aspects of a legal career that I had not considered previously, legal messengers, clients meetings, time keeping, and West Law, I am excited and engaged with all aspects of what I'm doing and it has made me look forward even more to enrolling in classes.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

We were all asked when we were kids what we wanted to be when we grew up. When I was 8 I wanted to be a soccer player, at 13, pianist, 16, artist, 20, lawyer. As we grow up the things that we want to do change as well.

I want to be one of the people that listen, and make change. I want to be a public interest internet lawyer, I want to work in education teacher classes in high schools to teach kids about our legal system, I want to work pro-bono to assist low-income citizens, be a mediation, an arbitrator, a judge. I realized I could do all of these things. I realized that I have a dream to accomplish something much larger than me.

I recently became a legal assistance in the smallest law firm you can imagine, me and 1 lawyer. It is breathtaking, spectacular, fun? It is the most exciting educational experience I could imagine and I look forward to the opportunity to engage further in the legal profession.

What about corporate policy?

What if every corporation has it's own policies, you can't work there unless you follow there policies, you can't shop there unless you agree to there rules, you can't go to school unless you sign an agreement to abide at all time by there handbook, inside and outside of work, school, and stores you are controlled by corporations and organizations rules. We may not right now have a problem with that but what if they become over reaching? Every day we sign on to some website and sign a privacy agreement without reading it perhaps signing away our right to the information we are handing out, we tacitly agree to follow the rules of a store while we shop there or a movie theater while we watch movies there, what if we lose our rights not from our government removing them but from our inability to find food, clothing and entertainment outside the corporate world what if all corporations say, if you work for us you can't do (action 1) in your spare time, if you do, you are fired. It has been established that a corporation has a right to do just that. What if it doesn't just stay at (action 1) what if it becomes an entire diatribe on the things you are not allowed to do when you work at a corporation or buy movies from that store. What if we lose our constitutional rights to privacy, to bear arms, freedom, life and liberty, freedom of speech because we need to work, and we have to abide by the rules in order to do so. What about the school that doesn't allow students to engage in any gender biased activities inside and outside of the classroom, does that mean you can no longer play on your womans soccer team, does that mean you can't have poker night with the guys? the constitution protects our right from our government what protects our right from a corporation? Once it was against corporate policy for someone to give me a refund, it was also however against corporate policy for someone to give me the item I paid for, so let me ask you should I call the cops because they stole something? because well they did but are they protected because it's corporate policy. I of course wouldn't call the cops about something that stupid because I believe they have something better to do. I called the BBB I called the corporate headquarters and finally I called my bank, what ended up happening well it was quite simple, my bank simply took care of it because their corporate policy says that if I don't receive goods or services the company has to give me my money back, however what if it didn't, could I indeed get my money back? or would there corporate policy which is directly in opposition to law have seniority of my right for possession of my property. Since America and well the rest of the world has more and more acres of land that is covered by corporations and more people work for them, when will our entire lives be dictated not by the laws of the government but by the laws of the corporations, both the ones we work for and the ones we do business with?
