Now that I am officially a second
year student, I think it is only appropriate for me to update my blog.
I entered Law School uncertain
but hopeful, nervous but excited, I have nothing but dream and determination of
one day becoming a Lawyer.
Studying Law is an experience
unlike any other. First Year in Law School is commonly referred to as the baptism of fire. There is no such thing as testing the waters. The only step
is by diving right in and hoping that you will not drown.
You need to read hundreds of
pages and shitloads of cases just to be terrorized by your professor the next
day.
But as they say, if it was not
difficult then everyone would do it and the difficult is what makes it worth it.
Law School is indeed difficult
but it has been one of the best experiences of my life. The grief of being
asked in recitation with that one single topic that you may have missed in your
readings and the joy of successfully answering and acing your Professor’s
questions.
The unsettling feeling of
studying for exams, the worse feeling of waiting for the result, and the
gratifying feeling once you receive the results and knowing you passed it.
Studying Law is mentally
draining and is a roller coaster ride of emotions. You need not only to be
mentally prepared but emotionally as well.
It will push you to the
absolute limit. You will either break down or you will exceed your limitations.
At the end of the day, the thing that will help you push through is that dream
and determination you have with you the day you first stepped in Law School.
Do not lose sight of that
dream. When everything is going wrong, that is the only thing that would keep
you sane. Couple that with prayer and hard work, everything will work out.
I overcame First year and
there are three more years to go. I entered Law School with nothing but dream
and determination and I will now face bigger challenges with the same dream but
much more determined.
U.I.O.G.D
