On the weekend of July 9th-11th I attended CLEO (Council on Legal Education Opportunity) seminar in Atlanta, Georgia. In order to participate in this event I had to write a one page letter stating why I would like to become an attorney and submit my undergrad gpa. I was accepted and everything was paid for including hotel, food and transportation. CLEO was founded in 1968 and focuses on diversifying the legal profession by helping minorities, low income and disadvantaged groups. This seminar was very helpful because I got to meet one on one with deans of admissions more in depth than the law school forum I attended in Miami in leadership activity 1. I even had one on one assessment of my personal statement. Everyone entering law school must have a personal statement written telling the school a little something about themselves and what makes the student different than the other average of 3000 people applying. Out of the 3000 usually about 150-300 students are chosen depending on the size of the school so one could see how imperative it is to stand out through the personal statement. I was given tips about how to prepare for the LSAT and I will take the test on October 9, 2010. I plan to be enrolled in law school by the fall of 2011. I feel through these leadership activities I have displayed the necessary skills needed to be a future great leader in the entertainment business.
