Language, at the beginning the single sound of that term would cause myself to jump off a cliff into a shark infected sea. I never found the joy of the concept of sitting down and reading in silence. But having the right topic, can create wonders. One single book help shape my path into the cruel, occasionally truthful endorsement of law and  soon my  fixation inspired me to become a lawyer.

Even though i was in a Pre-AP English in middle school, i never really enjoy reading. Everyday before my birthday, my teacher, Mrs. Carson, force books down my throat hoping one will cleanse my dreadful idea of books. Romance books seem as an unrealistic sweet dream and the she would gave me were kiddish impractial horror stories that can pass as a down-version of Scooby Doo, and etc. Every book I read, I found flaws. But one week before spring break, she gave me a book called, “ The Adventures of Sherlock Homes” by Aurthur Concave Doyle. At first i thought Doyle’s book would classified as the rest, disappointing, dissatisfying, and a huge waste of time. But the very first sentence hook me faster than a cheetah running for it’s life. I finished that book in three or four days, and with this new amazement, an deep black that could have easily be mistaken for Alice’s black hole, led me to a new world of law and mysteries.

I soon read articles, watch documentaries, and I even started watching the news, all just to fill my hunger for Knowledge. I readed “on the law of war and peace”, Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction” ,and variety of books.  My research on law soon became a habit then metamorphose to an uncontrollable inclination of duty and this duty sculpt my dream job.
