Hi my name is Kaya Peterson I am majoring in Law and Paralegal Studies because ever since I was a little girl, I already knew what I wanted to do I always told my parents I wanted to become a lawyer and then later down in the years become a judge. Going through some stuff my last year of high school only pushed me more to pressure and strive for my goals to become a Criminal Defense Lawyer and then a Judge I know it’s not going to be easy but I’m going to push to reach my goal. Something I want to learn or do in this courses more about New York State laws and how it applies to me and the citizens of New York. Something I want the class to know about me is that I’m very chilled and laidback, I just like to eat a lot.
Hi Kaya, thanks for this post! You’re correct it won’t be easy to become an attorney or a judge, but as Theodore Roosevelt said, “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, [and] difficulty[.]” It sounds like you’re committed to your goals, which is most important! Welcome to our course.
