: About Me

I am a freshman in college. I am a Pre-Law, Political Science major. After completing my BA I plan on attending law school, hopefully Harvard, and then beginning a career as a political analyst, then making my way up the political career ladder.

In my spare time I read and dance. I very much enjoyed poring through the 'legal' section at the library, much to the surprise of those around me. Apparently the idea of reading about court case decisions, court room strategies, and past legal geniuses does not appeal to everyone. Why that is, I have no idea.

As for dancing, some find it insane that someone who focuses on serious subjects would dip their feet in the pool of the arts but I find that the two mix together quite well. While dancing may not have the political impact that law does, it is nevertheless central in my life, and therefore VERY important.

If a person does not receive enough attention from the media in those crucial months one can be assured he has no chance at winning the primaries. Before and after the primaries the media plays a large role in deciding what is important about each and every candidate. Rarely does the media focus on actual i...
