The following quotes are excerpts from students who submitted applications for the 2007 Shane McGee Foundation Memorial Scholarship.
"As a leader in high school, I have used my experiences and knowledge to draw a diverse group of people to stand up for what they believe in by inspiring them to become proactive in their community."
"Many of the greatest men in our nation's history were once lawyers....I wish to pursue a degree in law because in order to win in the game of life I believe that you must know the rules."
"...law to me is one thing that everyone should know about because you encounter situations each day about citizen's rights."
"Ever since I was 7 years old I knew what I needed to be was a lawyer. As I grew up that need turned into a want and the combination of the both resulted into a genuine passion for the profession. I always felt that everybody deserved justice no matter who they were."
"I wanted to be a lawyer because I hope to follow my uncle who is currently a lawyer. He was the first to encourage me and I will never forget the first time he told me about one of his cases. From then on, I always knew I wanted to following in his footsteps. My uncle's encouragement started me on the path, but like my predecessors, its my pursuit of justice for all and the great feeling I get from helping others that keeps me on the path towards my goal."
