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 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 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.
