I'm Here To Tell The Truth

As most things tend to go in life, we make plans and ultimately things get in the way and the plans get pushed aside.

I planned to start this blog back in August when I first came to law school, but law school happened and the blog did not.

For the first few months of law school, I was convinced that people were overreacting to how hard law school was. The way I saw it, I sat down every day and did my reading and briefed my cases. It was time-consuming and at times exhausting but I was sure that at the end of the trimester my grades would reflect the hours I put in.

They did not.

That's the truth folks, sometimes we think we are giving all we have to give and then life comes along to remind us that we are not always right. I have spent the whole last trimester working harder than I ever thought I would have to for law school.

It has paid off in many areas but I know I still have a long way to go. I am not ashamed of the grades that I received during the first trimester, they helped me grow possibly more than a better grade would have.

It was not rock bottom but it sure felt that way at the time. I am lucky to have an amazing support system at school with the faculty and staff and my fellow students. Without their combined effort, I am not sure that I would have made it, mentally at least.

I just want to get my introduction out there, I want to get into the nitty-gritty details of law school that you may not have heard. I want to spare you from finding out the hard way. And most of all I want to make you laugh with my horrible stories, corny poems, and bad puns.

The truth is the most important thing that we can ever tell, we should all do it more often.
