Personal Statement

Personal Statement

Despite my low undergraduate GPA, I am passionate about learning. Particularly, I am interested in building law-enforcement agency-related competencies and understanding the rights of convicted felons and suspected criminals. I am also interested in building expertise about the penal system’s social goals and how the law varies from one jurisdiction to another to compete for many criminal justice roles. Some of my distinctive qualities include integrity, honesty, drive, willpower, persistence, and grit, all of which are necessary for the successful pursuit of the Master of Legal Studies program. I am optimistic, and I understand that some of the greatest success stories began as mere fantastical goals, at times even seemingly impossible. I am positive; If we landed a human on the moon.

My gifts and skills, including sporting talents, reflect my spirit, attitude, and abilities. Although I do not compete in professional sports, I enjoy lawn tennis quite a lot. It is one of my favorite pastimes. I am also a great debater. I participate in many discussions and analyses of a political and economic nature to understand my country and the world. I listen keenly and never deviate from the topic in my debating endeavors. I attack my opponents with facts and figures that disprove their suppositions. This ability to debate successfully comes from a wealth of knowledge about social, political, and economic issues gained from interacting with others, reading extensively, and considering blogs, magazines, and social media posts.

My debating prowess and general and legal knowledge have helped me offer advice to friends and family about the law. I will gain more skills to succeed in this field by enrolling in the program. I will develop nuanced comprehension of the criminal justice system and its practices and policies. It has always been my interest and one of my greatest successes. I have read many criminal justice books and have a solid foundation to build further legal knowledge. The more I interact with the new information, the better I become as a legal expert. I have already developed a foundation in the legal system and the elements of legal reasoning. Therefore, focusing on criminal law will be easy. This initial success story is a pointer to greater achievements and successes in the coming years.

I am also interested in interacting with new people and learning about diverse cultures. I want to understand legal principles without necessarily applying them as a lawyer. Instead, I will apply this information to general life, criminal components, and legal existence. The program’s flexibility will ensure I have enough time to study and maintain a vibrant life. I am also interested in learning conflict resolution, corporate compliance, human resource and employment law, intellectual property law, and law and sustainability. If admitted to this course, my certification on graduation will clearly show my improved expertise and specialized talents.

If life has taught me anything, it is to move with the flow, taking things with their strides. Life has also taught me the importance of learning from the experiences of others. There is a wealth of information to be found in somebody else’s life, experiences, and challenges. I will need an attentive mind, a never-failing focus, and a committed self to obtain this knowledge from others. School is one of the ways of obtaining vital experiences and relations that are positively transformative and informative. School provides a formal learning environment where students experiment with ideas and generate new knowledge. They ask questions and create models for societal improvements. It is a busy and serious undertaking requiring dedication, continuous improvement, and open-mindedness. Flexibility is the key to seeing things objectively and generally learning about life, even in school. It is my most valued experience, one I would guard jealously.

I believe that my grades will be better if admitted to this program. My undergraduate performance was not as good because I spent most of my time focusing on criminal law. I spent a lot of time reading criminal law books, articles, and news about ongoing cases. I have read the rulings in many landmark cases and familiarized myself with the criminal law landscape. I will have better results in my Master of Legal studies program because this is my area of interest, and I have already spent a lot of time studying it. With proper scheduling and activity prioritization, I will less likely fall behind in my professional and career undertakings with better utilization of information technology. My professional aspiration is to become a successful legal scholar without practicing as a lawyer. When I understand the law, I will understand how the law works and the rights of criminal suspects and felons. My path to success will entail prioritizing my school work, reading widely, consulting extensively, collaborating more, and keeping track of my performance to understand areas requiring improvement. I will achieve success with faculty guidance and support because I am motivated and driven. I am a success story in the making.
