You all need to wake up to the fact that being a lawyer is not having fun arguing, or liking to give your oppinion. Being a lawyer involves having good language skills such as being a good public speaker, it also involves you knowing the laws and when thay have been broken. Don't just choose your job because you think you have a good oppinion or you are a good arguer, your choice of job, esspecially if it involves study like a lawyer, will then most likely be one for life and you will live with it forever, so make sure your choice of job is the right one for the right resons.

I just recently decided that i wanted to be a lawyer. I know that i like to argue about lots of things. I make my point known to everyone and make them see in my point of vuew. I also like to keep very busy. I hated those summers in highshool where i had nothing to do for hours at a time. In highschool i was also involved in many clubs so that i would rarely have a free minutes. I thrive of the challenges that i face everyday. I also know that i have had a great education and that i can succeed in law school and become a great lawyer.
