About

Hello, my name is Adriana Marinez. As someone who went back to school at a later age, I can honestly say if it has taught me a lot. I have a wonderful husband and three beautiful children. I have the best support system and no one is more dedicated to pursuing their education than I am. It has definitely been a learning experience on how to handle a full-time job, a family, and pursing my education full-time. There is really nothing can stop me now.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I have been working in the legal field for over eight years, thanks to my wonderful mom, who is a paralegal. With a full-time job and family to take care of, I could not see myself attending law school for three years full-time. I did not learn until a couple of years ago that there was such thing as part-time law school. Being an attorney did not seem reasonable at first. Now, with this knowledge I have high steamed my studying efforts to tackle the LSAT this past June, and I am ready to apply to the Houston area law schools. Oh yes, nothing can stop me now from reaching my dreams.

Graduate school interests

University of Houston Law Center and
South Texas School of Law

Outside the classroom

I enjoy spending my free time with my family. I love playing Call of Duty and Zelda video games. I also love listening to rock music and curling up on my sofa with a great book. Not at the same time though!
