I am a senior this year at the University of Tennessee. I am looking forward to graduating this May with a degree in Journalism and Electronic Media. After graduation, I hope to attend UT's law school in the fall. I am currently studying for the LSAT, which I plan to take in December.
It was only last spring when I decided I wanted to go to law school. I made this decision after taking a Communication Law and Ethics course taught by Dr. Dwight Teeter. Studying past cases and First Amendment rights interested me in learning more about law. I am not quite sure what type of law I would like to practice, but I am interested in both media and environmental law.
I have held several jobs while in school. My first job was the summer after my freshman year. I was a camp counselor at Camp Wesley Woods. When I was younger, I had been a camper there myself. This job taught me how to be more patient, understanding and confident. I learned how to be a leader while at the same time having fun with the campers. It was a great experience.
I was also a youth intern at Fountain City United Methodist Church the following summer. While in school, I have also worked at T-Recs, UT's recreation center, and at Dillard's at Knoxville Center.
One of the most life-changing and learning experiences for me ocurred when I studied abroad last fall in Swansea, Wales. By being on my own in another country, I learned how to live independently while also learning how to make friends of different cultures and backgrounds. I also gained confidence in my ability to travel.
Before my first flight to London, I was extremely nervous and anxious about the flight and the trip as a whole. But I later realized it was actually harder to come back home than it was to leave home. I now miss Wales and the people I met there tremendously. I hope to go back and visit as soon as I can save up some money.
Traveling abroad has definitely made me want to travel as much as I can. I caught the "travel bug" as they say. I have dreams of taking trips to various destinations in Europe. I would love to go back to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day this year.
I am also very involved my sorority at UT. This fall, I am the New Member Educator. I am in charge of teaching all our new members about the sorority. I will be sad to leave all the friends I have made while in school when I graduate in May.
