During my summers in high school, I completed multiple internships in different legal fields in an attempt at finding my true passion in law. In the summer of 2021, I was the personal intern for Circuit Court Judge William Altfield; he worked in the criminal and drug court division. Here, I realized I did truly love reading and debating, but I also saw that criminal division was not meant for me. However, throughout my time working with him, I still gained valuable legal drafting and researching skills. These abilities transferred over to my next summer working at a small law firm, as I was able to assist the lawyer and paralegals throughout the multifaceted firm. I felt as if I had truly learned the value and responsibilities of owning your own firm. Simple things, such as being my own boss, had sparked a desire to become independent. I understood the risks of starting a small company to assist those in need, while still performing as a high-level attorney. Since this law firm dealt with many fields, I was able to come into contact with corporate law, which ignited a passion in me that ascertained my belief I had found my dream job. These summers spent working instead of partying were meaningful to me because I found a profession that resonated with me; every time I opened up the firm, I saw a window of opportunity, and every time I locked the door to leave, I saw my future.
