For the People By Michelle Nelson That's not fair." Even as the smallest of children, I remember making such a proclamation: in kindergarten, it was "not fair" when I had to share my birthday with another little girl and did not get to sit on the "birthday chair." When General Mills changed my favorite childhood breakfast cereal, "Kix," I, of course, thought this was "not fair." Unlike many kids (like my sister) who would probably have shut up and enjoyed the "great new taste" or switched to Cheerios, this kid sat her bottom down in a chair (boosted by the phone book) and typed a letter to the company expressing her preference for the "classic" Kix over the "great new taste" Kix. Through the plenty of "not fair" incidents that followed, my Grandpa tried to explain that unfair things happen sometimes, but I never accepted the idea of an unfair world and began to realize that there were a great many situations and conditions that were "not fair" not only to women, but all people of all social classes in the world. Fighting against things "not fair" for people has been my goal throughout my life and education, just as it will be in my future, and I have had several unique opportunities toward this end in my pursuit to become a lawyer. Since eight years of age, I have wanted to be a lawyer. The definition of a lawyer is an advocate or advisor in society, which is as an advocate, to represent one of the opposing parties in a criminal or civil trial, and as an advisor to counsel clients as to their legal rights and suggest courses of action. But that is not all a lawyer is about. Being a lawyer takes hard work, dedication, and many years in school. Before you become a lawyer, you must climb many educational hills. First, like in most jobs, you must have a high school diploma.
