I learned I chose correctly when pursuing a paralegal certificate because I had enjoyed interning there, especially when given more complex tasks. The education I received helped me reach many goals already and I haven’t started my job yet. Through different experiences and personal interests, I decided a paralegal career would be something I wanted to pursue.
