Hey guys its my summer, I finished my first yr in college. Im currenty going to community college and my gpa is 2.78, which is horrible.
Now I am thinking of becoming a lawyer, a buisness/corporate lawyer. I plan on STUDYING super hard next yr, tryin to get all A's, so i can bring my GPA to like a 3.7. a whole ten!
I also plan on studying and practicing for the lsats. Starting soon, i have about two to three yrs before I need to apply, that should be enough time to study for a good score.
Now, I just not sure if this is what i want. One of the reasons is that Im Indian and only 1 in 25 lawyers are minorities. 7% of all the lawyers are minorities, thats every minority. Now im not racist but i have never been comfortable where I was the minority. I went to a real diverse elemntary school and college. The high school wasnt so diverse it was mainly whites, maybe 30% of the people where minority. In highschool I never felt like i was accpeted or that I belonged there. Its a rule that people usually hang with their own kind, thats nobody fault, thats just human nature.
I also want to maintian a great social life, girls by the truck loads. I love the blonde girls, so i should be good, I plan on studying in NYC in Manhattan too. Maybe at Pace, Fordham or NYU. Prob Pace. So ill have a huge population to pick from.
Now I have a feeling that if i was to go to law school and get accepted. Im not gonna feel at home or accpeted or comfortable in a school where most of the people are white. I didnt in Highschool. I just have an inferiority complex and when the numbers are against you then its really hard to just be yourself and keep a high self confidence.
So should i change my decision, and decide not to be a lawyer (i think not),but i WANT to enjoy my yrs in grad school. Party and laugh and have a group of good freinds and have a hot blonde chick. I know its gonna be realli hard for me to feel like I fit in where that are mostly whites. In the mean time i need to work on my self esteem and work on all the things that the board teaches.
What advice could u guys give me, on my problem
