Why Are We Here?

Now that Midterms is finally over, I have a little bit of free time to make a new entry.

So, my blockmates and I were goofing around. And as a joke, this topic came out.

Why are we here?

Started as a joke but it is really an intriguing question, why are we even here? We all have our Bachelor's Degree. We could all probably have a decent job, earn some money and not worry about anything else.

Why do we let ourselves feel the pressure and anxiety with every pending recitation? Why do we let ourselves be tortured by our professors by succumbing to enormous amount of readings and further be terrorized on recitation day? Why do we trade our precious sleep to shit load of cases that has already been resolved? 

We have given up some of our hobbies, our social life, and for some of us, our love life to study law.
Why are we even here?

We are here because we have a goal to achieve. For some of us, we want to make our Parent's dream become a reality. For some, this has been a life long dream. For some, becoming a Lawyer is the first step into stepping to Politics, and for some, being a Lawyer is the best way to have an impact and help change the country.

Here are the quick facts.

Facts: We are going through hell

Issue: Whether or not we could get out of this alive to see ourselves have a Roll Number and take the Lawyer's Oath

Held: As long as our dream and ambition is greater the obstacles and fear we are facing, we shall become a Lawyer no matter how hard it takes. 

So, Bring it on. We can handle the readings, we can handle the sleepless nights, we can handle some bruises and cuts that we might acquire due to some stumbles along the way. But nothing would stop us, in fact all of these would just make us better, stronger, smarter and would equip us to become the Best Lawyers we could possibly be in the very near future.

We are here because we have a goal, although different for each persons, still a goal that we all whole heartedly want to achieve.
