My experience in college
My experience in college has been one of the best experiences of my life. It has given me an opportunity to sharpen my skills in the paralegal field. I have gotten many opportunities to learn and improve my craft during the time I have been in school, which I am thankful for. For instance, the paralegal department has equipped me with tips and rules which I wasn’t aware of when I joined the school. I have realized that I still have a lot to learn despite what I already know in my area of study and life in a broader aspect. As I continue to learn despite the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am confident that after I graduate, the skills I have been taught and my experience in college will help me when I start working at an attorney’s office and even when I eventually become a lawyer.
In addition to understanding paralegal insights, being in school has taught me a lot about various cultures and how they relate to one another. The college has many students who hail from different backgrounds and religions. I have learned so much from religions such as Buddhism and Islam, which I did not know beforehand. Learning about different cultures has been of value to me because I have been able to address various misconceptions I had about certain cultures and thus am now able to be less ignorant about certain cultures. I am sure that the knowledge I have gathered about these cultures would be of vital importance to me when I start practicing as a paralegal in different community setups.
Similarly, my knowledge in literature and especially the English program has been greatly improved. I have never known much about classic writers who shaped up the current world of literature as we now know it. In fact, I have started attending online zoom meetings with my other classmates in a bid to improve and sharpen our linguistical knowledge, which would be a vital aspect of the paralegal practice. With the ongoing pandemic, it is important to sharpen my knowledge, especially in areas I did not excel in while attending lectures since my performance in such areas would contribute to what I achieve when I finally graduate. Immediately I finish college and graduate; I plan to form part of the paralegals who are currently part of the worldwide access to justice movement who are in the fight to make the rights of the poor and marginalized people in the community access justice (Cappelleti 1982).
In essence, my time in college so far has impacted my life in various ways. It has enabled me to acquire the necessary tools needed to enhance my skills in the paralegal field and other aspects of life, which has molded me into a more well-rounded individual. The experiences are irreplaceable, and knowledge is crucial.
