Doyle Foundation Scholarship Essay

As the years have progressed, I have realized that I want to help people. However, I do not want to pursue the typical cliché medical career; I believe in helping others through the court of law. I want to pursue a career in criminal law as a lawyer. I think that an education and career in criminal law would be exhilarating.
Throughout my high school career, I have participated in classes that are aimed at my interest. My sophomore year, I studied at Stanford University with the Junior Statesman of America (JSA); I took a constitutional law course with many other students who were also interested in pursuing a career in law. I reviewed significant cases, many of which detailed severe crimes. Following my insight to constitutional law, I took a police explorers class and a forensic science class at my high school, the Academy of Arts, Careers, and Technology. In police explorers, I was taught various subjects ranging from the fourth amendment in regards to searching a person to building searches. In forensic science, I was also taught various subjects from analyzing a crime scene and its evidence to criminal profiling. These classes have only furthered my interest in criminal law. Therefore, I plan on attending the University of Nevada, Reno to further my education by majoring in criminal law and later opening my own law firm.

This career path fits my personality because I am an analyst. My work has shown that I take the initiative to do the research that is needed. I believe that no unjust act goes unpunished. Finally, I have the ability to argue effectively with others and I believe that this is one of the most important traits to be successful in a criminal law position.
