When Did We Stop Being Tolerant? May 3, 2014.I am responsible for my own future and who knows, maybe I was meant to be a lawyer. Nobody is sure that all their decisions will work out (unless they’re Kate Middleton- she’s a princess, for goodness’s sake), and that’s a risk I’m willing to take with law.
What if I hated it? What if it was as dry, boring and horrible as some people had not-so-subtly pointed out? Well, I am proud to say I have come to terms with the fact that everyone faces such questions at a certain point of their lives. I mean, I was going to spend at least 3 years studying it. I have to admit, I was extremely nervous about studying a subject I don’t know sh*t about. Character sketch: If you are working on character development, think about your character’s stuff. If it doesn’t work out, I can always blame one of the very nice people who advised me to go for Law, without knowing anything about me. Published on AugApby MorrighansMuse 3 Comments. The truth is, it took a lot of time and effort to finally make the decision.Īfter spending months on my laptop doing research, emailing random people whom I figured had previously done the LLB (thank you, social media!), doing the odd bit of thinking (when I started seeing black spots and had to look away from the screen for a few minutes), and finally listening to my dear father’s piece of advice, I decided that Law is my best option at the moment. Each week Ill give you a writing prompt to help you write a 100 word poem, story, or scene. What made me choose law, do you ask? I wish i could say one fine day while I was cleaning my room (let me point out I actually like cleaning my room, it helps me relax, and I know that’s weird but well, what can you do), I had an epiphany in the middle of plumping my pillows which revealed to me my ultimate mission in life: to be a lawyer. Welcome to the fifth 100 word weekly writing challenge. Little did I know my future was going to be learning the difference between the Common Law and a Statute on my very first day of university (please don’t ask). But although I jumped between various profession options, from a doctor to an actor and even a detective, being a lawyer never crossed my mind. Which, I guess, should have been an option, at least, given that I have a Barrister for a father. What’s even more surprising is that I never considered law as a prospective career choice. Give me lion taming at a circus any day instead.
So a lawyer, huh? God, I can’t tell you how STRESSFUL it was to decide my future career path. It took me almost a year to make a decision, and today marked the result of my decision. Sitting in my black vinyl chair, as I looked around the oval shaped table, I saw other faces which, similar to mine, exposed mixed emotions of excitement, nervousness and, above all, wonderment, I realized that this was it.
