I am a Born Lawyer

 

Law is the basis of a civilized society. Law organizes country and maintains peace and order. It also defends justice and protects the weak. Trust will vanish and community will collapse without law. For these reasons, I've always wanted to be a lawyer. And I believe that I'm suitable for the job. Because I have a strong sense of justice, I always try to help weak people, and I am good at speech or argument.

First, my sense of justice would be helpful to work as a lawyer. In fact, this is my strongest ability among others I have. I observe laws thoroughly. To put it concretely, I have never thrown trash on streets or jaywalked since I realize these are illegal. Once, it was 3 in the morning and there were no cars on the road. I had to wait for another minute until traffic light turns to green. No one was watching. But, I stood still in place without hesitation and waited to the light goes green.

Second, I do not turn my face from weak people. I think one of the biggest reasons that law was created is to protect the weak. For example, I fought with a waitress in a café, due to I'm so passionate to help weak person and that was also my foreign friend. She was from Brazil and her Korean was not very good at that time. My friend went into this café. After she ordered a cup of tea, she asked WIFI password to a waitress. But the waitress said "Only Korean can use café's WIFI". I was furious of that unreasonable discrimination and fought with the waitress even I hate speak loudly in public place.

Lastly, I am excellent in giving a speech or having an argument. I don't know why, but when I speak or argue in front of others, I feel full of confidence. I first experience this freshman year in this university. It was my first presentation at university. I was nervous to at first. But as soon as I started it, my calm and assured voice flew in the classroom. Also, I made most of the classmates concentrate to the end of the presentation. Furthermore, I could think out answers on the spot for a hard question that my professor asked after the performance.

In conclusion, I think I am qualified for a lawyer. Not only I have dreamed of defending justice, protecting the weak, and speaking in front of people, but also I have practiced these through my life. Most of all, I can hear the voice deep inside of me that tell me that I can make many people happy as a lawyer.

  1. I think your title was unique and drew my attention at first glance. You made good arguments and they seem all convincing and reasonable. Thesis statement in the introduction part clearly captured all the topic sentences in each paragraph and supporting details are all coherent with them. Topic sentences are united as one seen from the last sentence in the first paragraph. I was fully persuaded by your reasons as to why you are cut out for practicing laws. Thanks for sharing!

    Law is what makes this society. Law organizes country and maintains order. Its purpose is to defend justice and protects the weak. Also people can trust each other thanks to law. For these reasons, I've always wanted to be a lawyer. And I believe that I'm suitable for the job. Because I have a strong sense of justice, I have tried to help weak people, and I am good at speech or argument.

    First, my sense of justice would be helpful to work as a lawyer. In fact, this is my strongest ability among others I have. I observe laws thoroughly.

I had to wait for another minute until traffic light turns to green. No one was watching but I stood still in place without hesitation and waited to the light goes green.

    Second, I do not turn my face from weak people and sympathize with them. For example, I fought with a waitress in a café for a foreign student. She was from Brazil and her Korean was not very good. The woman went into this café and ordered a cup of tea. And she asked WIFI password to a waitress. But the waitress said "Only Korean can use café's WIFI". I was furious of that unreasonable discrimination and made a strong protest, so that the student could get hers.

    Lastly, I am specialized in giving a speech or having an argument. When I speak or argue in front of others, I feel full of confidence. I first experienced this during my first presentation at university. I was nervous to at first but as soon as I started it, my calm and assured voice flew in the lecture room. Also, I made most of the classmates concentrate to the end of the presentation. Furthermore, I could think out answers on the spot for a hard question that my professor asked after the performance.

    In conclusion, I think I am qualified for a lawyer. Not only I have dreamed of defending justice, protecting the weak, and speaking in front of people, but also I have practiced these through my whole life. Most of all, I can hear the voice deep inside of me that tells me I can help many people as a lawyer.
