Being a lawyer is not about fighting just to fight. It is about discovering what is right and moral. I want to be a lawyer to help people which is why I have recently decided that I want to be a Children's Advocate. I decided this because I want to help children and save them from the pains of abuse, abandonment, starvation, and many other hardships that many children, even in American, face every single day.

First of all, I think that in order to be a lawyers you must have impeccable English skills. This believe it or not includes writing and it is apparent that many of you are lacking such skills. Being a lawyer is not solely about being smart which again some of you are forgetting because you write on this silly message board about how smart and wonderful you are, well great! Prove it and get through law school. Anyway, being a lawyer is more about standing up for what you believe and taking cases that actually matter to society, not about arguing over material items or other trivial things.
