On a bright and engaging Career Day at a Sugar Land area elementary school, Attorney Stacy Garcia captivated young minds with her presentation on the life and career of a trial lawyer. Ms. Garcia, a distinguished trial attorney, shared her journey and experiences, emphasizing the importance of certain subjects and school activities that can pave the way for a successful career in law.

Ms. Garcia highlighted how school subjects and after school activities are crucial for developing the skills necessary for a trial attorney. She encouraged students to participate in activities that encourage public speaking and reading comprehension to hone their argumentative and presentation skills. Her insights provided information and encouragement to students interested in pursuing a career in law.

During her presentation, Ms. Garcia also shared personal anecdotes from her time at the University of Texas at Austin and her law school journey at the University of Law Center. She answered numerous questions from curious students, offering a glimpse into the rigorous yet rewarding path of becoming a lawyer.

To conclude the day on a fun and interactive note, Ms. Garcia hosted a mock trial where students argued the case of which candy was better - Skittles or M&Ms. The students took on the roles of attorneys, presenting their arguments to a jury composed of their classmates. After a lively debate, the jury delivered their verdict, and everyone enjoyed the "evidence" - the candies themselves!

Ms. Garcia's visit was not just about sharing her professional experiences; it was about inspiring the next generation. Her passion for giving back to the community and encouraging children to explore various career paths, including law, left a lasting impression on the students. Through her engaging and informative presentation, Ms. Garcia demonstrated that with dedication and hard work, anyone can achieve their dreams. Ms. Garcia was joined by her husband, Victor Garcia, who spoke to the students about traveling the world as an electrical engineer.
