University Plans

y name is Sally Ham, and I am currently a sophomore at an International school in Seoul, South Korea. I hope to achieve my dream of obtaining a position as a successful lawyer in the future, where I can use my knowledge and passion to protect people from unrightful discriminations. I will consider this Career Plan my stepping-stones and follow it as much as I can, in order to successfully reach my final goal. University Plans I hope to attend a high profile university in South Korea, and major in Legal studies, while minoring in Prelaw and linguistics, which would help me greatly in understanding the international law systems. The college will be medium to large-size and it will put its emphasis on legal studies and law firms. This school will not only teach me law skills, but also support me to study, improve and perform to my fullest potential. First Employment I would like to volunteer or get an internship at a law firm of some kind, whether it be assisting an experienced lawyer in court cases or watching other lawyers in action. I would definitely want to get real-life experiences in order to gain more knowledge on how I should act and behave as a lawyer in the courtrooms. It would also be a worthwhile experiences for me to not only watch lawyers in action by defending their clients, but to communicate and talk to them personally about their opinions on their jobs and experiences. Jobs & Positions Development After the internships and gaining enough knowledge and experience, I would look for a more professional and stable position. During this period, I hope to finalize my decision of becoming whether a paralegal, a private-practice lawyer or a public interest lawyer. Preferably, I would like to become a private-practice lawyer. In order to obtain this position, I would continue gaining valuable experiences in small court cases by taking part in assisting other lawyers during their discussion and research. Also, I would slowly start to look for offices along with various ways to selfbrand and advertise myself. Afterwards, I would begin to set up my own private office and start gathering clients.

Capstone of Career

Capstone of Career When I have reached an age of being an adult with my own job, I would like to be in a private-practice lawyer position. I would have my own private office that provides a comfortable environment for my clients, where I can talk to them in depth about their problem whilst protecting their privacy and confidentiality. I hope to exceed my clients' expectations by successfully defending and recognizing each of their rights. When reaching retirement, I want to share all my law-related knowledge with other younger lawyers and help them to reach their goals. I would like to be remembered as the lawyer that worked to the best of her ability and potential, by passionately defending each and every one of her clients.
