Reflection: Since I was a child my passion has always dreamed to join the law industry. Not only did I enjoy it because of the T.V Shows I would watch but because it was something that I knew I could help people out with. Regardless of how long it might take for me to reach that goal I know I want to study political science and that's where I'm going to aim.
