I am experimenting with the different template options for my mythology blog. Some students have said that they like the University of Oklahoma colored template I have been using, but I thought it was time for a change. It was really easy to change so if I don't care for it I can easily change it. Let me know what you think.

It took me several tries, but I resized my photos for my storybook introduction using PicMonkey.com. I am using two different photos for the introduction, but for some reason the pictures kept changing to the same photo. It was like magic, really irritating magic. I am not certain how I finally fixed it. Follow the link below to see how the pictures turned out.

Growth Mindset: "Never Give Up"

This is a cute YouTube video that encourages students not to give up if they do not succeed the first time they try something. Your brain is like any other muscle in your body. The more you exercise your brain the stronger it will become.

Growth Mindset: Video; "The Power of Yet"

 The Power of Yet video is meant to be a fun way to reach people of all ages. It has an important message to keep trying to reach your goals. The power of yet is that while you may not have reached your goal on the first try, if you keep trying you will get there. This video really spoke to me today as I am struggling to reach my target score for the LSAT. I am determined to keep a positive attitude and continue to try. I have not reached my goal yet, but if I keep trying I bet....




 

Tech Tip: First Tweet

I created a Twitter account for a class I took last semester. I have not mastered writing in 160 characters, but I like the premise of Twitter. I usually get on and read political candidates twitter posts. I posted a short twitter post about how much I am enjoying this course. I hope others are enjoying the class as well.

Introduction to a Future Lawyer

I plan to attend The University of Oklahoma College of Law

OU Law



     It is hard to explain the gratitude I have for the opportunity to earn my college degree without telling you about my parents. I was raised in a blended family. My step dad brought his son and daughter to our family when I was five. My mother had four kids of her own. Together my mom and step dad raised the six of us, while they both returned to college. My mother laughs because I can never remember to call them on their anniversary, but I always remember the day they both graduated from NSU in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. I was only eleven, but I knew how that moment would change our lives forever and I was so proud.

     Like my parents I am pursuing my college career after starting my family. I have known since I was a little girl that I wanted to practice law. Remembering the pride I had when my parents accomplished their educational goals inspired me to go back to school. I know I have inspired my children to work hard and strive for their goals through my dedication to my college career. I know I will always be a lifelong learner. I want to use my education to help others who may feel hopeless or stuck in their situation.

     The idea of working for a non-profit law firm is very appealing to me. To give people a voice that may not be able to afford an attorney to represent their interest would be very rewarding. Unfortunately individuals with fewer resources are often unable to peruse their interest within the legal system. The legal system and its processes are very complex. Individuals that do not frequently interact within the legal system do not have a working knowledge of its processes and how to navigate them. The cost and uncertainty of litigation disproportionately affects women, children, and minorities.   

      I want to keep an open mind about what type of law I intend to practice. I know that some individuals enter law school with the intentions of pursuing a specific type of law, but I feel law school will expose me to options that I may not have considered yet. A law degree will open the door for many opportunities for me and my family. It will also allow me the opportunity to help other individuals. Maybe I’ll be a child advocate lawyer, help women get out of abusive marriages, or help religious minorities secure their religious freedom.

     I do not know with a hundred percent certainty what type of law I intend to practice, but what I do know is that no matter what I chose I will give a hundred and ten percent of my energy and focus to being the best most dedicated lawyer for my clients.
