Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below.
I have had an idea of what career I wanted to follow for quite some time now, a white collar crime investigator. Yet, I did not have a clear idea on how to get there. I decided to interview a captain at the District Attorney's office of Los Angeles. He told me to go into business and accounting as my college major, but I still felt there was something I could do during high school that would help me. Therefore I emailed an insurance fraud company to see if I could intern, at the young age of 16. I went through a job interview, had to prepare an official application, and get a background check before they could even consider me. Thankfully, everything went through and I had my foot in the door of my dream profession. I have only been there for a small amount of time, yet I have learned so much. I spend my time working with the database for the company, and have really seen just how everything works. I can only imagine how much more I will learn during my senior year.
