national society of high school scholars

NSHSS recognizes high school scholars for their academic achievements as well as service to their local communities.

Career goal: I aspire to use my passion for social justice and advocacy to become a successful agent of change in my community. My goal is to attain a law degree and become a defense attorney. I have recently developed an interest in being a public defender which I believe is a good starting point in becoming a successful private defense attorney, then later a District Attorney. Aside from being a lawyer my biggest goal is to establish a nonprofit organization that will help women in domestic violence situations find stability and safety in their lives. The services of the nonprofit will include childcare, shelter, group counseling and social workers to aid in finding jobs and housing. Since elementary school I’ve wanted to be a lawyer and establish a nonprofit that would help women, and every step I have taken has shown my ambition, dedication and devotion to reaching those goals.
Graduate school interests: I plan on attending Law School.
Outside the classroom: Creative Writing
