I am applying to the Master of Arts program in Criminal Justice at Lewis University, because I want to further my education in this field of study. The Criminal Justice field is changing day by day. I must admit that it is somewhat by accident that I find myself driven towards the field of Criminal Justice. I have always enjoyed watching and reading news article on what is going on with my city. When I was young, I thought I was going to major in Computer Science in Undergrad, but quickly that was changed. My advisor at College of DuPage told me to take a class in Criminal Justice, which I did, that could have been the best decision for me. I became quickly became fascinated with a growing interest in Criminal justice.

Some call me argumentative- I prefer the term dialectical. It is true, I enjoy debates more than the average person. Nothing compares to the thrill of triumphantly dispelling an opponent’s case and swaying an audience to my side. On top of that, I have a sincere appreciation and talent for writing, reading comprehension, and grammar. With these attributes, I feel destined for a career in law. Yet, it is more than just my personal tastes that have led to my interest in legal services. Growing up with a disorder, I have developed empathy for people with disabilities and a desire to help them by advocating for their rights. As a lawyer, I hope to take action to make the world a better place to live in for people with conditions similar- and maybe not so similar- to mine.

Reflection on the work I’ve done in this course and what I’ve learned Very few courses we do in our life impacts us deeply, and ever fewer amongst them brings about a change in the way we think, react and respond to situations. I am really thankful that I got one such opportunity to be a part of a curriculum which not just gave me the attitude to judge situations from a larger lens but also the confidence to delve with critical issues in life with ease. The process of ideation and personal introspection that went into it is sure to have brought about big changes in my perspective, and it certainly doesn’t just end there; the connect I intended and achieved to make with my blog readers, getting positive feedbacks from them and impacting their
What should we do in life? That always seems to be the question. Life is not guaranteed to be easy, never turning out the exact way that we want it to. A lot of people work hard to achieve their dreams of making a massive amount of money and having more than a seven percent return on their 401k plan. Truth is, life is not about the amount of money that we have saved up, it is about what we do to make a difference and how we will make our lifetime worth it. Something that people should set into place is a plan for their future. A plan that would help not only directs their path in life, but the paths of those around them too.
Everyone is unique but despite gender, ethnicity, age and class we all have one thing in common. We all belong to a society. I have chosen to study Criminology as I am very enthusiastic about this aspect of society and I am keen to widen my knowledge which I have learnt through studying A level Sociology. My favourite topic throughout my AS year whilst studying sociology, was Crime and deviance. The subject of Crime I feel is of great importance and relevance to modern day society because it is increasingly a cause of concern in everyday life and create issues which affect us as a society.
I want to become a lawyer because I’ve always been interested in the occupation and I want to help people. To be more specific I want to be a prosecutor. I used to watch shows such as Criminal Minds and Law and Order and I also watched the news. While watching the news, I began to think that not all criminals are getting caught, and they are starting to do more and more things to damage the world. I can’t stand thinking that people are doing horrible things and thinking its okay. I want to be able to put those people in prison where they belong.
I believe that studying criminology at university will be extremely beneficial and provide me with knowledge and skills that will assist me not only in pursuing my career but also in everyday life. For example, a criminology course would require me to think critically and independently and also expect me to be able to work in teams and present ideas to others. What interests me about Criminology is the range of different topic areas such as drugs, the media and the criminal justice system as I wish to strive towards a career within the realms of crime and criminal behaviour.
Within the past two years, I have had a number of experiences that can relate to competencies that both myself, and your organization share. Honesty, attitude, maturity, integrity, and confidence are competencies that I view are very important in myself and also with a person having a career in law enforcement.

Having the proper and more important attributes it takes to have a job in law enforcement is very important; a must. I can tell you why I am the right choice for your team by explaining how I not only obtain these five attributes, but also express them when appropriate.
