Question: A personal essay typed of approximately 250-300 words indicating the reasons for wishing to pursue graduate study with particular reference to ultimate career objectives.

English philosopher George Moore once wrote "A man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it". This statement best describe what comes to my mind when I think about continuing my studies at John Jay College as a Graduate student. It has been 6 years since I left home and now I would like the opportunity to return to find what I have been looking for. Upon my graduation 2006, I was hired by my internship as a Program Assistant; my internship supervisor was so impressed with my passion for mediation and my desire to learn that she created a position for me. Excited about the opportunity I discussed the position my Law Professor who told me "Take the position and get your feet wet, real talent like yours doesn't stay in one spot for too long". My professor was good as his word and in six months I was promoted to Assistant Mediation Manger for the *******and as the agency changed my positions changed I held of total of 4 different positions during my employment their. Eventually the program was dismantled; I was reabsorbed into the agency but a job in a non-for profit agency is never secure and I was left with no choice to explore other opportunities. My love for social justice, law, and the court system never faded when the opportunity to work in The ********* court presented itself I took it. I have worked all Five Family Court houses, 2 Criminal Courts, and 2 Supreme Courts; I have 7 years of combined work experience with the New York City Criminal, Supreme, and Family Court the only thing I could think about is how can I make the litigation process less emotionally taxing on families. A Masters in Public Administration offers students the opportunity to obtain skills to direct a program and understand the political knowledge to create a successful one. What makes the Master Program at John Jay College so interesting and one that I know will prepare me for my professional career is the program is built to allow students to declare a concentration so that they maybe come more knowledgeable about particular sector of public service. One of those concentrations is in Law and Public management which would afford me the opportunity to take steps in the direction of becoming an Attorney. It is my hope to someday be able to start my own non-for profit Collaborative law practice. After years of sitting on cases in family court and seeing the frustration of families that have to wait months to settle family issues and the emotional toll litigation has on children I believe mediation could be a much more effective tool in settling these types of disputes. I have taken a great interest in study of Conflict Resolution and I have been trained in many forms of mediation. Mediation is a client centered practice that offers clients an opportunity to fashion a unique agreement one that they will be able adhere. The ability to have an effective practice that is tailored to public services would begin thru the completion of a vigorous course of study in Public Administration. The best indicators of my successful completion of my Graduate degree in Public Administration are found outside of the GPA ratio. I believe my professional accomplishments and continued drive to move towards self improvement since graduation are the best indictors of my ability; I have diverse working experiences and professional training that provides me with foundations to reason and express myself at the graduate level the successful of my course of study will ultimately allow me to create flourishing program and be a skilled collaborative law practitioner. Although I am excited about the prospect of practicing law, my experiences have shown me that it is important to understand program development and policy in order to run a thriving non-for profit agency. I also understand the importance having high caliber academic experience by possessing a diverse body of knowledge. Prior to being my course work as a graduate student, I enrolled in an American Bar Association approved paralegal legal program to gain an in-depth understanding of legal research and agency policy. I hope that my experiences in the working world, my drive, and my passion for justice will allow me the opportunity to enroll in the Master of Public Administration program.

You have some impressive ideas here, and you have some impressive skills and accomplishments, too! But why did you write it in all one long paragraph? It is SO important to use separate paragraphs, I cannot even emphasize it enough. You cannot succeed in law or management if you do not use paragraphs correctly. A paragraph is like a box you use to manage your belongings when you move to a new apartment. Without boxed, it is just a big mess.

Begin each paragraph with a TOPIC SENTENCE, and the powerfully explain that idea.

One paragraph = one idea.
