Career Project by Estefany Medina
Lawyer
Personality
I always have to know "why".
My head rules my heart. I often feel as though I am on the outside looking in. I do not see a need to conform. I value my independence. Give me a project, and I will get it done on my own. I don't need or even like amount of directions o "this is how to do it?" Information. I find satisfaction in crossword, puzzles, analyzing language or words, creating models, problem-solving, and PRIVATE TIME. I may withhold my respect for authority until is earned. Everything needs to make sense. Fairness and justice are important to me.
I see myself as intellectual, calm, and creative, while others may see me as uncaring, aloof, and indecisive.
My quotes are:
"My work is play."
"I believe my creativity starts when my choices end."
At work:
I am conceptual and an independent thinker.
In love:
I prefer to let my head rule my heart.
In childhood:
I appeared to be older than my years.

Why do I want to become a lawyer?
I want to become a lawyer because I think that's a good job, the lawyers have a really good salary and also there is a lot of job opportunities for a lawyer, probably this is not the career that I will really love to do but I think this will give me the opportunity to live the life that I probably will like to live like.
I know that money is not everything in this life, i know that money doesn't buy happiness, but I also know that all my goals and all my dreams won't perform without money.
The other reason of why I want to become a lawyer it's because I like to help people, and I think that's what they do, also I think that my personality matches pretty good with this career.
Education
One of the reasons I want to get into Harvard University is because I want to feel proud of myself. I also want my family to be proud of me. It is important for me to show those who doubted me that I was able to achieve my dreams no matter what they thought.
I know that I will need exceptional grades and a great deal of money, but I also know that I can achieve my dream if I work hard.
