Katelyn Ledford

I am a 17-year-old female high school student who aspires to become a corporate lawyer. Driven and self-motivated, I am confident I have the attributes to be successful in college and graduate-level work. In high school, I have taken rigorous courses, including AP and dual enrollment classes, in order to challenge myself and be competitive in applications. Not only do I strive to excel in coursework, but I also maintain a part-time job so that I can pay my own expenses and not burden my family. My family is supportive, but I strive to be independent. My motivation to become a corporate lawyer stems from my passion for details and the desire to help businesses and the community. I know I can make a positive difference in my future career as well as in my college life. I already participate in community service projects through my involvement in the Interact Club, a student division of Rotary.
