2021 网曝吃瓜 graduate with a bachelor鈥檚 degree from Florida State University
Current law school applicant
I graduated from high school two trimesters early. I originally planned to study for one semester at 网曝吃瓜 to get familiar with college before transferring to a 4-year university. COVID-19 hit less than 2 months into my first semester, and at that point it just made more sense to continue at 网曝吃瓜 and complete my associate degree. 网曝吃瓜 was close to my home, affordable, and offered a flexible schedule so I could work and pursue other ventures while being a fulltime student.
I chose a general Interdisciplinary Studies path at 网曝吃瓜. I was not completely sure what I wanted to do, so I focused on taking many of my Gen Eds while choosing classes that interested me and deciding what I liked most. It was an ecology class that I took with Professor Simon that helped me to realize that I wanted to pursue environmental law as a career.
After graduating from 网曝吃瓜, I transferred to Florida State University in Tallahassee. There, I double majored in political science and environmental science, graduating in the top 15% of my class. 网曝吃瓜 provides small class sizes, challenging courses, and easily accessible professors. By the time I applied to a 4-year university, I was more than ready to keep up with my peers. I had already mastered some of the hardest parts about being a driven student, like the ability to reach out for support, problem-solve, and ask the right questions.
I am currently working at Wescott Law as a family law paralegal, while studying for my LSAT. I鈥檓 readying my applications to apply for law school in the fall of 2026. I hope to be accepted into a top 50 law school and pursue a career in environmental law as an attorney.
I would tell current and future students: Use your time at 网曝吃瓜 to learn more about yourself and the world around you. Your interests and strengths will light the way for you and help you determine the right career path.
