How I spent my day Sunday, October 23,2022, 8:00AM-5:00PM

Woke up and got myself out of bed. -.25

Went to the bathroom to shower, brush teeth, do skincare. -1.0

Got ready for work. (put lotion, deodorant, face cream, lip balm on, Got dressed, did my hair, etc.) -.75

DoorDashed some McDonald’s breakfast and watched YouTube (Hailey Elizabeth) while I ate. -.50

Left out and walked to work. -25

Got to work, it was pretty slow so started on small restock. -.50

Started getting busy (Sunday brunch) so got back to actually working. -1.0

Still busy. -1.0

Still busy but switched tasks with my coworker. -1.0

Slowed down a little because of the rain so I started cleaning up and getting everything organized. -.50

Did another restock. -.50

Got busy again so got back to that. -1.0

Finally got my break got to eat and chill for like 30. -.50

This was pretty fun. It was nice to log my day. I chose to do 9 hours instead of 4 because I was pretty much just working for 5 of them before my break and then I just worked more after my break. I would probably like to do this again but maybe for like after work or a day where I don’t work.

 

Law in Culture

The source I have chosen for my Law in Culture Project is a true crime documentary called “Girl in the Picture”. An American Netflix original documentary, directed by Skye Borgman, tells the story of a girl named Suzanne Sevakis, also known as Sharon Marshall who was found dying on the side of the road and identified as Tonya Hughes. Later on in the documentary her 6 year old son Michael, gets kidnapped by someone who’s know as Tonya Hughes husband and Sharon Marshall’s father. I chose this documentary because I heard a lot of good reviews about it and my cousin actually seen it and told me about it and thinks I would really like it since I’m into true crime. I also chose it because I heard that it took police and detectives years to figure out almost everything in this case and still to this day not everything is figured out.

Law Office

The Law Office I decided I want to work for is Morgan & Morgan, located right by the Empire State Building, 350 5th Ave Suite 6705, New York, NY 10118. This firm is a personal injury firm meaning they have attorneys who represent people who have been injured. Morgan & Morgan is a big law firm and they have many different locations and is known as America’s Largest Injury Law Firm. I’m interested in working at this Law firm because personal injury law is what I’ve been leaning towards more recently because I want to help others like my lawyer helped me. I also really appreciate how they have this “If we don’t win, you don’t pay” rule. That’s really great because people who get injured, are suing because they need money to cover medical expenses and for a law firm to not be able to get them any type of money and still charge for there services is pretty messed up in my opinion.

Who I am

Hey, my name is Madison. I am in the Law and Paralegal Studies program because becoming a Paralegal is the first step I am taking to potentially becoming a lawyer. I always wanted to be a Lawyer since young, but as I got older and did more research, I started to doubt my ability to actually do it. So i’m going to start off as a Paralegal and see where this takes me. If this doesn’t work out, I am also interested in Real Estate and becoming a Real Estate Agent.

Something I want you to know about me is I love watching true crime documentary, cold cases, murder mysteries, and anything that has to do with that. I also had an alright summer, I did a couple of new things but mostly worked.
