Summary

As a senior at the University of Washington, my dedication to pursuing a degree in political science is unwavering. Graduating in the spring of 2024, I am eagerly anticipating the next step in my journey: law school, beginning in the fall of 2025. With a clear mission in mind, I aim to immerse myself in the intricacies of legal principles, utilizing them as catalysts to drive my ambition of becoming a lawyer fiercely committed to championing civil rights and fostering a more just society. During this gap year, I am actively seeking opportunities to further my education and gain valuable experience, preparing diligently for law school and setting the stage for success in my future career.
