of Arts degree in Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. Earning a degree in
this field will introduce me to the basis of political theory and political behavior, which will
equip me with enhanced critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills. After graduating

my duty to ensure that if the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is violated by any
industry, group, or individual, justice is brought to the victim(s). Pursuing a career in the legal

as both an undergraduate and graduate student. I will battle and fight to overcome any adversity I
may face in the future. I will seek to achieve both my short term and long term goals of earning a
Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science, a Juris Doctor Degree, becoming a Civil Rights Attorney
in California while advocating for social freedom and equality, and eventually starting a family.
