I would like to become a criminal prosecutor for the state. To land a job like this I would need to do the following:

Finish my undergrad and graduate law school.
Pass the bar exam.
Intern or clerk with a judge. (Not required but extremely helpful.)

Support & Help

What I will need...

torresm100 — 2025-02-14 02:38:25 UTC

I think to do this job you need a lot of dedication and passion for what you do. I don't think this is a job someone who does not have love for it.

Things I need to improve...

BURN OUT. I tend to take on too much at once and run on fumes for a few months until I eventually burn myself out and lose all motivation to do anything. I also need to improve on networking and not sticking to people/places I am comfortable in.

Strengths

I am good at tedious tasks such as legal research, reading/writing long essays and articles. This is especially handy because the bar is timed and you need to read long papers in a short time frame.

Spirit Animal

This is my fictional spirit animal. If I had to pick one fictional character to describe me, I would choose Blair Waldorf. Although her character is written for a teen drama show, no matter what is going on around her, she never lets it distract her from her goals. She is aware of the dynamics between herself and male counterparts in professional settings and knows she needs to be sharper. A main character arc for her is figuring out how to make her future happen.

Another fictional character I love...

Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird (One of my favorite books) A good representation of doing what is right, even when no one agrees or stands behind you. Atticus is the only lawyer in town who will defend a black man, with no compensation and knowing that he will lose - simply because it was the right thing to do.

Why?

torresm100 — 2025-02-14 03:20:32 UTC

I think it is important to remember why I want to do this as I embark on making this journey a reality. I believe in fighting for all people and doing what is right.
