I don’t want to jinx myself but I am not overwhelmed with schoolwork. That might be a problem. I do the reading the night before class and I get the assignments turned in on time. I don’t “study” the way I should. I read the text, understand it and then move on.
I am the one in class with my hand raised, ready to give the right answer. Some of these people just realized they wanted to be lawyers–I knew since the mid 1990s. Top that.
It certainly helps that I have an Associate’s in Paralegal Studies. Civil Procedure class is just a review. Legal Writing? Please. Done and done. Legal Research? Zzz give me a challenge. Torts and Contracts is just reading. Can’t wait until Criminal Law. Blood and guts can make anything and anyone interesting.
You got this. It seems different to you because you know what you want and you know what it will take to get it. You’re not worried about seeming odd by raising your hand and you know better to put off an assignment because you know you can get it done in a timely manner. You know the steps needed for your goal and you’re going to achieve it because you truly want it. I’m so proud of you. I promise to help you in any way to make your dreams real.
