Looking Forward
A successful lawyer should be driven by a passion for
justice and desire to help those in need. I hope to soon become a successful lawyer working for others in my community and the world for social Justice.
One’s capability to aid in the progression of society is not governed by the correct combination of several socially-constructed identity components, but in fact constructed on the basis of character. To argue that one’s rate of success can be drawn from his ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation is preposterous, if one considers that any intrinsic worth associated with such a trait is simply constructed by a society and in turn holds no foundation beyond that society’s context. This revelation of reality theory and its social construction became clear to me at an early age, as I was forced to grown up in an unwelcoming society, divided on the basis of ethnicity and religion.
Today we are closer to being part of a community in which the judgment of man’s identity will no longer be rooted in socially constructed attributes but instead truly based on his character. I plan to continue this effort in the years to come, utilizing law school as a means to gain more knowledge and understanding into how I can further this fervor. I now aspire to be an attorney, where my dedication to justice and my passion to help those in need will aid me in correcting the pressing problems of absent ethical values.
John Rawls once said, “Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. A virtue more fundamental than benevolence, charity, mercy, generosity or compassion,” In essence, I have felt a calling to being an attorney, where my passion and desire to help those in need, in addition to my dedication for justice, will aid me in making a difference.
