What I hope to gain from being apart of this CSW program experience and training for law school, graduate school, and for my career as President of the United States. I am excited to see what we uncover from our topic about Pregnant women incarcerated, especially considering we are in a election year this is something that I feel would motivate me to continue to advocate for change in the prison system but at a different angle. I am looking forward to improving my research skills and making an impact in the view of congressmen and women with these results.

               

             Furthermore, I believe this will help with my training for law school because it is going to help me prepare for extensive research, reading, writing, and presentation of founding’s. I also believe that this research is something that I may be able to use in the court room later on in life as a defense attorney. Secondly, since I plan on doing a dual program in Public Administration and Law I believe that this will again help me with learning how to properly organize papers and doing extensive research. Lastly, I believe this will help me when I become President of the United States because it will help me develop new ways to tackle this issue once I am in politics so that I can properly influence policy as it regards the prison system, which is something that I plan on tackling hard as President of The United States.

Secondly, I am excited to see what me research group and I will uncover. This is a conversation that is not talked about a lot. I believe that if we work hard enough to uncover the truth it can possibly reach the right people and spark a nationwide conversation like the Black Lives Matter movement. I think that this conversation is just as important because it is dealing with the life of two human beings at once and possible hurting the life of one before it even starts. I hope that this research can possibly spark a change in the system and policy over all.

Lastly, I am looking forward to improving my research skills. While I have taken a number of writing courses I also feel like since I am working towards becoming a lawyer I can always be improving my skills. One of my biggest regrets is not doing a double major or minor in English. I think this will give me more practice in the skills of writing that will hopefully make me more competitive to my peers in the classroom and in the work field. I also hope that this research is done so thoroughly that it forces Congressmen and women to look and consider change.

In Conclusion, I am very excited to see the outcome of this research. I believe that it has the possibility to change the world and change the lives of myself and the people I plan on defending in the court room.
