I want to be a lawyer groing up. I have always enjoyed researching things; sometimes getting lost for hours on the computer for a simple science project. I am really smart and am a good arguer. (I give my parents credit for that. Ha ha.) I know I'll make a great lawyer someday.

Lawyers aren't just people who can debate well, they're people who can communicate, interpret, and educate to the people they represent. You must not only have an understanding of laws, but of individuals and their interactions in a society. Being smart has little to do with the job description.
