<p>I apologize to those who religiously follow this site... However, it's an important question to me and I would appreciate any advice you may be able to provide to help me.</p>
<p>I have had an interest in law and the beginning of our government for several years now. I currently a Junior (undergraduate, of course), have a GPA of 3.967 (I am sure this doesn't mean much, but I added it just in case), part of the Honor's program (which, of course, requires Honors coursework), president of the Honors club at my campus, and pursuing a Bachelor's degree in History (primary focus is in United States' history and plan to do my Honor's thesis on a topic that deals with the development and creation of the United States' government). However, I am having second thoughts. Until I graduated from my high school, I wanted to be a veterinarian, and now I am starting to wonder if that's what I would rather do. I discovered my passion for law when I realized how much I enjoyed my history classes on early American History and my Political Science class, participated in Mock Trial, and when I had my own court- appointed attorney in a custody battle between my parents. During this custody battle though I saw alot of things that I would consider to be unethical or just plan wrong. My father's attorney was basically making a case based on lies, or half-truths, and I do not want in any part of this. Also, my aunt used to be a corporate lawyer (now she works with contracts) and said that there was a lot of things she was asked to do that she did not agree with. I guess I just need advice... I am not sure if I'm getting nervous because I only have about a year until I apply for law school or what may be my problem, but I am concerned. How exactly do I know if this is the right path? I want a career that will be challenging and something that will require me to think alot, but I want something that I can feel good about as well.</p>
