I am a freshman and pre-law student looking to go to law school somewhere in New York City. The other courses I take Legal Studies, Business law, Psychology, and Science: Life and sciences. I am really enjoying the classes I take right now, but I’m finding it difficult to adapt into college life. I’ve been in high demanding classes since middle school and I think they adequately prepared me for college but actually being here is different. I’m finding it hard to balance my time and delegate which classes need the most attention. I know I should be focusing on my courses that deal with my major the most, but I’m so interested in my other classes that it makes me question if I’m choosing the right major. Homework and studying take most of my time, but I’ve been looking to get into extracurriculars that speak more to my hobbies. I want to take sewing classes of campus but they’re really expensive so I got a job. This is something my parents would probably help support me financially but I feel they’ve already sacrificed so much to put me and my brother in school, I don’t have it in me to ask them for more. In high school I was the leader of my school’s theater club, Black student union, Social immersion club, community outreach club, an honor society student, a tutor, afterschool teacher and a part of a voter's rights initiative. While I was happy to be apart of all these clubs I constantly spread myself too thin which led to me having health issues. I was excited to go to college and get away from all the stress for a bit, but it seems to always find me. I’m a tough cookie though and hoping I’ll learn healthy ways to manage my stress soon. The most important thing to know about me is that I’m a hard worker, overly sensitive at times, and always looking for new ways to improve myself. I’m working on putting myself first and racking up all the good karma I can. My dream job is being a copyright lawyer for a fashion brand that is ethical, cruelty free, and inclusive.
