Hi everyone, my name is Mirian Torres and the reason why I decided to apply to the Law and paralegal program is because I aspire to become a lawyer. I’m originally from Honduras, I arrived to the US about two years ago. Being a child who got to experience different scenarios where injustice was a constant in my life, got me to think it was because of the corrupt government, failed and obsolete system that is still used in my country, hence when I came to this country I did it with a lot of expectations, unfortunately upon entering the complex family and child wellness maze that is supposed to be in charge of protecting us I got to realize that even if the system is flawed there is always need for people trying to get the less fortunate a little bit of justice but it made see that there are also others who got into the law program just to manipulate and bent the laws in favor of those that cause harm. Being the latest the group of people I never want to be part of.

I expect this program can give me the tools I need to be part of a change in the system and I hope justice can always prevail and deliver hope to those that have known injustice for far too long.
