Personal Statement for Entering to Law School

Profession choice is one of the most difficult choices, any individual is to make at certain moment of time. Often people face difficulties, as they are to hesitate between the things, which they really like to do and those, which they are to do in this life. For me this choice is not less meaningful, but is not that difficult, because I am convinced that my future should be the reflection of my life passions.  I have two passions.  The first being my service in ministry on the mission field and the second being law. Sometimes I experience duality of the idea of having two passions, one being a calling and the other chosen. The calling into ministry was a necessity that would not give me rest, until I accepted the call and went into ministry school.  Even after matriculating through ministry school, there was still the nagging thought, “am I really called?”  It was not until I stepped onto the mission field that I knew the answer without any doubts.  The mission field is like no other.  You never have enough resources or too many people to help and the need is always greater, than the supply.

The mission field taught me how to push past my temporary inconveniences and focus on accomplishing the goal of the mission. Irrespective of the size of a mission, I need to realize my role for fulfilling it, for changing the current matter of things for better and I do my best to utilize the unique opportunity to serve. I assume that before starting any mission, it is utterly important to distance from any personal obstacles, which could cause additional problems for fulfillment of this mission. Personal blocks should not be allowed to hinder uplifting of your neighbors and supporting them on their path of change in life. Because ministry was a calling, I erroneously thought there was no room for the other passion in my life.

I needed time and effort to realize that my two passions should not be contrasted, because they are not are not two dueling forces that I must divest from one to have the other.  I am finally in peace, to be afforded the ability to love the mission field, just as much as I love the work, which I perform in the legal community. Working in my current capacity gives me comfort, I could later use to resolve issues on a daily basis.

It is my desire to attend law school to build on the foundation I have learned as a paralegal and gain the specific training and knowledge to practice law. As a dedicated professional I am certain to bring the same discipline and work ethic to the classroom. I am impressed by the learning how to apply law to legal issues in life. I do my best to be maximally open for active participation in class and I like involving of my attorneys into discussions of the legal issues of the clients. This is a way for me to adhere to my two life passions, and at the same time provide help to other people in various life spheres. This fact supported my intention to continue my legal career in order to become even of greater use for the society. I hope to obtain my law degree and start practicing it in its full essence. I am convinced that if I could get the chance to participate in the CLEO program, this would be an absolutely great opportunity for me to make my next steps in this direction, to bring more balance to the society and finally fulfill my next mission.
