My Plan for a Successful Life
By Ezra S.
Interests• I love debating with people and coming up with solutions.• Also, my Dad is a lawyer so I get a lot of knowledge from him on being a lawyer. I think it is very interesting.• In addition, I like working with people.• I am very interested in business and by becoming a lawyer I might also get to work with large companies.• Finally, I enjoy learning about the law.
Values I value my family very much. I also value education; it is important for
me to go to a good school. Also, my Jewish religion is very
important to me. I value my tradition. I know that it is my obligation to give
charity as a Jew.
Goals My goal is to first go to The University of
Maryland. Next, I want to go to Michigan Law
school and hopefully pass the bar exam. I will become a professional labor and
employment lawyer. I will start a family in Baltimore. I will work as a lawyer for 40 years.
Goals: Tuition To pay for college, my parents will contribute
some money; I will use some of the gift money from my Bar Mitzvah. Also, I will work part time for the company Radio Shack. A part time employee there makes $10 to $12 an hour.
The tuition for Maryland per year is $17,278. To pay for Michigan Law School, my parents
are going to contribute a lot of money. Also, I will get some student loans. To make some more money I will work part time helping out around a law firm.
The tuition for one year is $48,212.
Goals: Savings Plan At the University of Maryland, I will set aside
$2,000 (from my $9,000 salary working at Radio Shack) per year to deposit in the bank.
I will also invest in companies to make some extra money which I will add to my bank account.
I will also have insurance on my car so that in case I get in a accident I am covered.
College Life:Degrees
At Maryland, I hope to get a degree in business.
Later, at Michigan Law School, I hope to get a law degree.
Afterwards, I will take the bar exam.

College Life: Lifestyle I will live on campus at Maryland. I will purchase supplies and necessities using
the money I earn working part time at Radio Shack.
I will try to keep my variable expenses low so that I can save.
At Maryland I will study hard so I can get a degree in business.
Career: Lawyer After college, I want to work full time as a labor
and employment lawyer in Baltimore. Lawyers make about $112,760 per year. The demand for lawyers in the U.S. is dramatically
rising giving me a good chance to land a job in Baltimore.
Lawyers represent individuals, businesses, or government agencies on legal issues. They advise clients, present facts, type legal documents, or interview the opposing side to win a case. Lawyers argue and apply the law to issues in order to help their client win the case.

Career: Lifestyle I will start a family in Baltimore with two
children. I will cut back on variable expenses so I can
start to save for my children’s college tuition. I will work as a lawyer for the company
Jackson Lewis for 40 years. I plan to buy a decent size house in
Reisterstown. I hope to send my children to Beth Tfiloh.
Career: Savings Plan Every year I will put $23,228 in the bank. I will put most of this money towards my
children’s college tuition fund and my retirement.
The rest of this money my family will have in case of an emergency.
