When choosing a career field or branching off in the career you are already in there are endless possiblities. In the career field I choose, which is paralegal I can branch off as a law clerk, legal secratery or stay as a paralegal.
Each field serve the basic needs to lawyers or judges such as meeting with clients and other professionals to discuss details of a case. As well as preparing documents, briefs, wills, contracts, and appeals. Under the law umbrella not all the core tasks are the same.
For example, a paralegal core tasks may include gathering and analyzing research data, such as statutes, decisions, and legal articles, codes and documents. Where on the other hand, a law clerk have to just search for and study legal documents to investigate facts and law codes. A legal secratary may have to make copies of those correspondence documents and other printed matters.
A law clerk supplemental tasks includes delivering or direct delivery of subpoenas to witnesses and parties to action, arrange transportation and accommodation for witnesses and jurors, if required. They also appraise and inventory real and personal property for estate planning. Paralegals and law clerks share the same supplemental tasks, however, a legal secretary carry out more of the office supplemental tasks. For example they review legal publications and perform database searches to identify laws and court decisions relevent to pending cases and submit them for approval for use.
Looking back at all three careers they share core tasks to serve the baskic needs for lawyers and judges to prepare and discuss details of cases. No matter what field I may choose to do or later in life branch off to, I will have the basic work experience to effectivly perform each career. Paralegals, law clerks, and legal secrateries play an imporant part in the legel area, because without out them it would make the jobs for lawyers, judges and other professionals alot harder.

What are my weakness?
Everyone has weakness. Some are easily defined within yourself while others can just easily point them out to you. I can easily tell you what my weaknesses are. I am too dominant, stubborn, and easily overwhelmed.
I am a very strong take charge person. As long as I know what I need to do and how to do it, I just go. That is what my boss value in me at work but my co-workers hate. I just do not like standing around and not do anything. While my co-workers are just chatting or standing around I am constantly looking for things to do or beating my boss to the punch by having things done before she ask. By doing that, this leaves my co-worker with nothing to do and easily bored. But I feel as this, you know exactly what needs to be done so why wait until management ask and just do. Do I care that I can be most hated by my peers? No, I come to work to work and not make friends. At the end of the day I know when I clocked out that my share has been done and I do not have my boss breathing down my neck. I hope others feel the same as I do.
My stubbornness can get the best of me, especially with personal relationships. My mother and I are both head strong people and refuse to let each other get the last say. I guess that is why our relationship is so strain to the point where we bearly talk to one another. My boyfriend and I have a hard time in the same house together because I try to where the pants too. Which frustrates his so. I try to allow him to lead but I find it hard. I come from a single parent household to so I have been raised on a "do as I say" rule and I carry that with friends and family which makes it hard to have a good long lasting relationships with people.
I have to admit I do take on more than I can chew and put so much pressure on myself where I feel boggled down. I am so use to everyone asking me to do this or that, where it becomes second nature to me to just automatically pile and take control over everything. In turn I make myself sick and do not know when to slow down until my doctor have to literally tell me to slow down. I find it hard to that because I am a working single mother on my own.
My weakness can be my strenghts but knowning my limits can strenght my weakness awhole lot better. Knowning what your weakness are can help better and shape you to the person you want and need to be.

Why I choose BSC?
I have been out of school for about 5 years and I did not know how hard it is as a single mother. I have to balance work, a 4 year-old and a new baby on the way and at times I find myself wanting to give up. I choose Bryant and Stratton College for higher learning, better future for my children and the benifits of a fulfilling career.
I am a high school graduate from class of 2003 and this fall started my first semester at BSC. I love school and always excel at anything I but my mind to. Having higher learning is something I always tell my son is the most imporant thing he can have now in this day and age. No longer is a high school diaploma or a GED worth much. Every job that you apply for want you to have an associate, bachalor, master's, or even both just to answer telephones. Times are changing and I want to be with the time that is changing and show my childeren that it is worth it in the end.
My son is 4 and he loves to read and learn about every little thing that he comes in contact with. Looking at him makes me very proud to be a parent. I would love to keep his interest in school and show him that learning is fun. I keep his head in the books and we watch the Noggin channel and the PBS shows together. His enthusiasm when he goes to school every morning brightens my day and my me going to class make me proud to go to school. He encourages me to continue my education when I feel like giving up.
What also keeps me here at BSC is knowing that at in 2011 I will walk proudly across stage and get my degree and have a fulfilling career as a paralegal. Knowing that not only I will have that degree but also will make the earnings that I deserve to provide for my family as well.
When you feel that all hope is lost and feeling overhelmed just remember that you are setting an example not only for yourself but for your family. You may be to only one to go to college or even just finish school but knowing that you can achieve all your goals and feel good doing is worth it.
