School Application Essay
I hope to turn my life around 180º by finding employment in the criminal defense and family law. I hope that I can reach juveniles from making the same mistakes I have made. Many types of disabilities retard a person from moving forward in education, but perseverance is the key that opens doors.
People must take the initiative of upholding, defending, and teaching our future generation of the misguided nature of our pop culture. The consensus of the nation wants misguided juveniles locked up and treated as adults. However, this “Idea of shame” existed during the Dark Ages with negative results. Many people feel lost when the world and its laws change and seemingly hopeless for the disadvantaged. I would like to be a part of the solution when I use my experiences within the judicial law when I help others in helping myself.
People must accept their own responsibility to take part in changing their views and political involvement. We, as a nation, shall not sacrifice our future and liberties for the sake of unproven doctrines of security and fears by our elected officials. When people become responsibly involved within their government, we will find the solutions to the problems plaguing the country. Together, each individual initiative and sacrifices are accomplishments we want to gain in our country. This is why I am glad for my criminal justice instructor and her teachings of our ever-changing laws.
My criminal justice instructor at Inver Hills community college created the person I am today. My instructor teaches her special model of preserving and defending the US Constitution locally.
Many people are ignorant of the law, in which there is no excuse for the defense when law enforcement intrudes on personal liberties in the name of government jurisdiction. Nobody is above the law. Everyone must protect and safeguard individual liberties from deteriorating. Today, the United States is a nation of laws and not of the people, even though the US Constitution is a contract among the Federal government reserving the power of the citizens to govern our elected officials. We, as a nation, must have the freedom to agree or disagree without infringement of each individual views.
Helping me define where I wanted to go in criminal defense, she allowed me to work with her in the Public Defense office and see the world many of us hope not to see. This rare talent provides for the fair treatment of procedural laws is what I revere most about her. However, many people share the honor of shaping my focus on helping, defending, and upholding the Minnesota State and the US Constitutions. My instructor is my mentor and guidance counselor.
I am happy that I have turned my life around and shared my experiences with her, even though I posses an old criminal record that has no bearing of my current lifestyle, which is a disability to me.
Disabled people face many perceptible stigmata’s in society that they are separate but equal. Society’s political correctness places invisible barriers on disabled people with outworn support infrastructures and myths that they are different.
Many disabled people suffer from separatist attitudes resulting in rejection, isolation, and negative psychological impact. Many disabled people want to live their life as the disability does not exist and want to experience life equally without judgment. The negative psychological impact of the disabled person shunned by society as an effective participant deepens the scars for otherwise capable citizens. Some people treat disability as an individual in need of support and retarding certain civil liberties because some lack mental capacity.
Disabled people recognize the help and empathy in their routine, but it should not become an outworn path when people “try to care” beyond being helpful. Many people are ignorant of their separate behaviors when encountering the handicapped. Instead, society should use empathy and compassion to encourage disabled citizens without sympathy for their loss. Disabled people must become productive members in society without exclusion because society then becomes handicapped.
My application to this school reflects my struggles and triumphs of becoming a responsible citizen looking to help others out of situations similar to mine.
Thank you.
