Further, other than my many years of experience in administrative positions, I have the advantage of many years in the military in general. Essentially, the law is a vast set of rules to be applied evenly and fairly across varying cultures. The military acts in many ways the same. In this case, however, soldiers from varying cultures must conform to strict sets of rules to ensure their own safety as well as the safety of other soldiers and civilians, and to protect and defend the very Constitution upon which our Democracy is based. Many years of living by these rules has ingrained in me a respect and understanding of rules and laws that many will never understand or appreciate.
Moreover, the fact that George Washington specifically targets International Law (my primary field of interest) definitely appeals to me. Because of my keen interest in becoming an International Attorney, I am determined to become a top notch paralegal and parlay this knowledge and experience into the ultimate career of my choice. Hopefully, George Washington University will see the value that my experience and diverse cultural background can add to the program and in turn provide me with the excellent legal training for which it is well-known.
