Summary
Growing up, I have always wanted to study law and have a career in the legal sector. Luckily, I became the first member of my family to attend university. This happens to be a major thing for me because most of the time all I saw growing up was people who had big dreams, and those dreams stayed as dreams. I did not want that. I knew I had a dream and wanted it to be a reality. I am ambitious and determined, I am a go-getter, and I know what I want. For the past few years working with different people, I have learned to be more patient and work in a team. Even though I can work in a team, I also work better alone. I am a quick learner and always open-minded. I am currently studying law and would like to have the opportunity to show my skills and also learn more about what I am currently studying.
