Learning From The Greats Heart throbbing‚ blood rushing‚ running across the field feeling your last breath slipping from your body. With the last second on the clock and with every ounce of strength you have left‚ you score the winning touchdown. Years of training and sacrifice flash before your eyes and are given a meaning that very second. What meaning could it be but the satisfaction of success being shouted by thousands of onlookers on the bleachers. You rise above all and take the trophy

My decision to acquire a Juris Doctor‚ albeit a decision made later in life‚ was one I came to quite easily. Although I’ve always had an interest in law since the latter years of undergraduate school‚ the impetus to seek the degree was brought on by a tragic event much later‚ which forced me to look deep within myself and see life through a different lens. On June 2‚ 2011‚ I received a telephone call from my mother. I learned that my only sibling‚ a brother two years my junior‚ had committed

I have always seen myself in a much bigger light. Growing up I would always pretend to be an icon not a superstar‚ I wanted to become someone kids and even grownups would look up to. Throughout my elementary‚ middle‚ and high school years. My teachers‚ would always tell me that I was the leader of my class; and the kids would look at me to make the moves. I notice that within myself‚ however when a teacher tells you things like that. It tends to hold more value. With that being said‚ Mass Communication

As I looked down onto the field I could see my breath float upwards out of the stadium and dissipate into the crisp fall air. I turned to see my dad cocooned in his Lehigh scarf‚ while a brown and white pom-pom danced on top his head. Yankee stadium was almost at max capacity‚ full of Lehigh mountain hawks and Lafayette leopards. We watched with anticipation as the first punt of the 150th Lehigh Lafayette game lifted the ball high into the air. The atmosphere was electric‚ a sensation to be remembered

Most people might say that the first day of high school is a huge crossing‚ or maybe the one in college. However for me it wasn’t a physical crossing that has had the most impact on me‚ it was more of a mental jump for me with several experiences leading to a realization. I wouldn’t say I’ve had a hard life because I have no right to say something like that. However when I became a junior I came into the year a little low I had seen people doing unspeakable things to others. I mean just look at the

Though I am sure of my identity‚ who I am and what I wish to accomplish now‚ it definitely was not something that came quickly. For a long time‚ I didn’t think I’d ever have the one special thing about me that I assumed everyone else had- the activity they threw themselves into‚ that dominated their lives and everyone knew them for. With just about everything I tried‚ I never quite found that deep passion for anything. I didn’t realize yet that I’d dismissed a significant part of myself a long time

I was raised with the beliefs that there is an importance of having security in all aspects of life‚ whether that is financial‚ physical‚ or emotional. These were‚ and still are‚ the ultimate objectives I have for myself and every action I take and have taken has been formed around this sentiment. My parents taught me that “dreams are the touchstones of our character” and that it is important to dream big while remaining clear on goals and realistic with decisions.

A very wise uncle used to offer me guidance‚ which included “stay in school”‚ “you have plenty of time to make money”‚ “life will only get more complicated as you get older”. Nevertheless‚ I was young and foolish and did not heed his advice. I wanted to make my way into the world‚ and start earning money as a professional‚ not as a short-order cook in the family restaurant. Looking back through the lens of time it is easy to say that one of my greatest regrets was the decision not to go to graduate

Dreams of going to a big university‚ having a huge house‚ playing professional sports‚ but then reality hit him. I did not need these things to make me happy.
