Life Goals
My future long-term career goal is to become a
part of the governments defense
counsel, either by becoming a legal secretary
or an attorney. I would need to
attend college, pass the bar exam and become
board certified in order to become
an attorney. In reference to becoming a
legal secretary I believe I've developed
those skills through several years
of hard work, and I feel I've gained enough
experience to pursue this field.
I believe I will be successful in becoming an
attorney. I am determined to
finish high school with the academic excellence
required to obtain a good
professional direction in the law field. I have
several years of expierence
in Law, Speech, Acting, and Debate. These qualities
will help me to pursue
questioning, and feel comfortable in the courtroom. It
was difficult to find
information on my career goal. I found several job
opportunities, but I could
not find information on the academic requirements
needed to attend a 4 star
law school on the internet. I had to research my
information through word of
mouth, and the results I received from the "job
search" worksheet we did gave
me a lot of needed information. My current
job skills relate to my future
career goals in several ways. My knowledge of
computers are very useful in
todays society. I am experienced in several aspects
of the computer. I am
literate of several computer programs such as Peachtree
Accounting,
Microsoft Word and Works, and Power point among several others. I
have
several years of experience with the internet. I took 4 years of
computer
classes, and I've built my own web-site. Furthermore, I consider
myself very
computer literate, and in todays career fields literacy is
required, and a fast
typing speed is encouraged. Communication and social
skills are very important
when dealing with customers. The happiness and
satisfaction of the customer is
what companies thrive their business on in
order to profit, and keep up with
supply and demand. Maintaining a
professional attitude is very I, important when
dealing with clients. Whether
the client is happy or night, the needs of the
customer are the most
important. In High School I took several communications
classes. My favorite
was Law class. We had Mock-Trials, which was role playing
for the students in
order to get the feel of a real courtroom. I received an A
in Law Class. I
took Speech, Acting, Children's Theatre, Drama. I worked for a
large
insurance company that dealt with insurance claims, and I was surrounded
