Through my senior project topic, I hope to learn more about a career I hope to pursue in the near future. I want to learn all the basics of civil litigation and all types of legal proceedings that fall under this category. I wish to become a successful and trustworthy attorney and I feel that the ideas I have for my essential question will help me become this. I have yet to decide on an essential question, but I have in mind several that pertain to having a good relationship with my clients, a good relationship with my opposing council, and creating a welcoming environment for my clients.
I feel that through my senior project I will have the opportunity to hone in on my presentation and reading comprehension skills because as an attorney, this is not only recommended, but a requisite. Of course, iPoly has already taught me how to present well in front of large crowds; however, there are still times where I become nervous. I hope that through my senior project, I will be able to get rid of those nerves and look more calm, confident, and collected when I present. I also wish to better my reading comprehension skills. Reading is part of becoming an attorney due to the amount of paperwork an attorney has to deal with. My mentor is already helping me with this, as I have been writing several deposition summaries for him and other attorneys at the law firm I've been mentoring at.
I have presented several goals that I wish to attain throughout the course of my senior project. These goals, I would like to say, are all specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time based. As you may have noticed, these are all mentioned in the image above. I have made SMART goals that I know I can achieve by the end of my senior project!
