Shayna's Story

My passion is law.

Law became my passion when I started watching shows on TV that dealt with crime and lawyers. This interested me because at a very young age I understood what rules were for. Rules and laws are put into place in order to maintain order within a community of any type. I have always wanted to be apart of making sure that the rules that are put into place for the community to follow are followed.

I will develop my passion by attending Syracuse University Summer College because it offers the same classes that I would like to study when I get into college. This program will push me to achieve all that I need and want to achieve in the area of law.

A Note from Ms. Miller, Shayna's Mentor

"Shayna is an exceptional candidate for Syracuse University Summer College for two primary reasons; her passion and her sponge-like ability to absorb knowledge and throw herself into whatever activity she takes on. As a spirited and zealous leader, Shayna will be a strong representation of the type of student your organization serves. Having the opportunity to participate in Syracuse University Summer College will open many doors to Shayna. Every opportunity Shayna has had thus far in her life has been self-created; she is the kind of person who sees opportunities where others might see obstacles. I genuinely believe Shayna deserves this opportunity and will be a proud and dedicated participant."

Excited for Syracuse!

I am so excited to attend Syracuse. It has been tough filling out all the paperwork that has been thrown my way, but I pushed through it. Transportation was a hardship at first because I didn't know what was safer, a car or a train; ultimately, I made my decision and I chose the train. I am excited to get to the program and start learning!

Thank you for all your support,
Shayna B.
