Douglass Academy chemistry teacher Larry Goodin loves to help people. In fact, he recently made the move from Gary, Ind. to Detroit just so he could work for Detroit Public Schools.
But he might not be in DPS for long. He has another career goal. Goodin wants to help people beyond just teaching in a high school. He wants to become a lawyer.
“I wanted to make a difference in the city and (be) where I could be the most effective,” Goodin said.
But this isn’t the end of his allegiance to help the people that need his help the most. Goodin is in school currently to become a lawyer and start his own law firm. He is not going back to be a “big shot lawyer.”
“I am going back to help the people that can’t afford a good lawyer,” Goodin said.
Goodin will be graduating law school in the summer of 2016 from Cooley Law School’s Auburn Hills campus.
