My Career
Law School; what & why
Best colleges
Some of the highest ranking colleges
for law include Harvard University,
University of Oxford, University of
Cambridge, Yale University, and being the
closest college to my current location, UC
Berkeley. Although Ive always wanted to
go to college out of state, even country, I
decided to go to the most convenient college
for me, UC Berkeley. Also, UC Berkeley is
currently ranked number 9 of the top law
schools in the nation. Berkeley Law is wellknown for the depth and breadth of its
curriculum and the caliber of its faculty and
students. Berkeley was as well the first U.S.
law school to offer M.A. and Ph.D. degrees
in Jurisprudence and Social Policy. Their
curriculum offers a rich variety of courses
for students aiming at corporate litigation,
public interest law, criminal prosecution,
international law, or any one of a dozen
other fields and finally, Berkeley offers firstyear J.D. students the
opportunity to choose
electives during their second
semestera chance to begin
customizing their legal
education early on which
provides practice and
preparation for the future.
Along with all of the
previously stated options,
students have the option of participating in

amount of money, I plan
to stay in the Gaia
apartments in Berkeley,
while still going to
college for my final 4
years. After college, I
plan to continue to pursue
my career and move to
New York to become a
lawyer of a top law firm.
While in New York, I
would again stay in an
apartment nearby my job.
While in
my first year or two
year of college, I
plan to stay at home
since commuting
would be
inexpensive as well
as I could take that
time to work and
save up to
eventually move
into an apartment.

Spouse
Who knows when we will meet the
one who we marry? The answer is no one.
However, although I don't know when I will
meet the one I marry, I do know that before I
wed I want to have my "ducks in a row". By
that I mean I want to marry after college, not
any time before or during. I want to be
settled, and be making good money to

Paris, France
Ive always been the most intrigued
with Paris. Previously, I've studied Paris,
got a map of different cities, and even took a
French language class over summer. Also,
my oldest sister speaks fluent French, and
has been to Paris numerous times only to
come back and rave about how beautiful the
city is. If I traveled to Paris I'd want to spend
my time sight-seeing, trying new foods, and
Italy
As for Italy, I'm happy simply for the
fact it's in Europe which is my dream
country to travel. Along with that, though,
my oldest sister spent a summer studying in
Venice, Italy and was infatuated with the
sights, everything there in fact. And having
prior knowledge of the cities inside, views,
Greece
My final dream destination lies in
Greece. From the first time I ever saw a
movie which took place in Greece, I haven't
had my mind set on a more unique city. The
water is beautiful, the colors vibrant, and the
culture is the most intriguing to me.
Customs and traditions in Greece and the
Greek Islands are an important aspect of the
Greek culture. They are either of a religious
character or coming from paganism. In
Greece, they have a mass amount of
traditions including the well-known plate
breaking for weddings. They as well have
Carnival which in Greece is called

Religion
Overall view on religion
Myself
I myself am currently and have been
raised into Christianity. Growing up,
religion was never something forced onto
me, in fact it was natural since my family is
strong believers and always has been. My
dad always read us the bible and my whole
family went to church on Sundays for as
long as it can remember. Getting older, we
Spouse
As I previously stated, I don't judge
people on their religion nor am I biased
towards someone with the same religion as
me. However, when it comes to marriage, I
would prefer my spouse to be of the same
religion I am. Not only so we don't have
separate beliefs, traditions, etc., but also so
our children can grow up in a one religion
My kids
When I decide it is time for my child
or children to be at the maturity level to
learn and be taught religion/ go to church
with a more serious mindset, I will get them
