Law and order to Criminal Justice Lawyer

Darvin Pineda is a senior at Southeast. His parents taught him to be a strong and independent person who knows his morals. When Pineda was a 7th grader, he always argued about random things and would always watch crime shows, where the good guys always found the bad guys and put them where they needed to be. This inspired Pineda to pursue a career in Criminal Justice.

“I will be going to college for a four years to get a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, [then I plan on] being accepted into a prestigious law school and graduating with my law degree and passing the bar exam and becoming a criminal justice lawyer.”

This has made Pineda responsible in school and has motivated him to do his best to achieve his goal. “I want to make my parents, family  and everyone proud and have no regrets.”

Pineda will be attending University of Nebraska-Omaha this fall.
