 My name is Najmi Hatibi. I am pursuing Associate of Applied Science Paralegal Program at Highland College. What drew me to Highland College Paralegal Program is I grew up in a country where money and power ruled. Breaking law for lawmakers meant to perform their duties. This inspired me to learn about the law in the United States. I was looking to find an ABA-approved program. I searched and I found out that Highland College offers this program. I believe as a paralegal you work on cases that have a real impact on people's lives. You will help the clients who are going through legal challenges and difficulties such as bankruptcy, immigration and divorce. The most rewarding aspect of becoming a paralegal is to contribute to the legal process. As a paralegal you play a vital role in supporting the attorney by conducting legal research and also drafting documents for the client. The memorable experience that I had during my study in the paralegal program was during my internship. One day I received a call from a directing attorney of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. He called me and congratulated me and said that I had been hired as a legal advocate not having any experience in legal field. I was not expecting to get that job. Highland College provided me with the knowledge, skill and practical experience needed to pursue a paralegal career in a variety of legal settings. After I graduated from Highland College paralegal program I would like to work as a paralegal and besides that I would like to continue my education. I would like to get my bachelor degree in law and I would like to become an attorney in the future. I would highly recommend students who are interested in legal studies to join the paralegal program at Highland College. This career is a rewarding career and it has a real impact on the society.
