On becoming a lawyer

Monday, December 19th, 2005

i love being a happy person. way back in grade school, i was a very very very shy girl who would cry when asked to recite a passage from my reading book. haha, the memories of Ms. Umali, my grade school reading teacher who saw through me and developed my potentials. i love being the outspoken me. i love to talk, really…about anything. about politics, the latest showbiz chismis, the latest block chika, romance, about breaking up…etc..i really love to talk. I honestly think this has something to do with my past debate career… i love debate, the euphoria of speaking about almost anything under the sun. Of course i don’t debate anymore (except for the moot thing in Persons)–nonetheless, that doesn’t mean that i love the art less.

i’ve read the blog of a very good friend just a couple of minutes ago. i admire that girl’s passion..if only i have as much discipline as hers. I can still vividly remember that first day when i met her face-to-face. First few words, "I hate mediocrity. I you think that you’re gonna win a debate by being mediocre, you’re wrong." hehe…very passionate person…hay, and i really wish she’d make it to the top sa bar exams. grabe ang passion, sana ako rin…im also passionate about the law. it’s what ive always wanted but sometimes i tend to forget that in order to become who you dream of becoming, you have to work for it. you can’t be a good lawyer by sleeping on your books every gruelling night. You have to do your best. Mediocrity is an evil and it’s right in front of my face this semester. Worse, i succumb to it.

No regrets. No frustrations. Those are my choices. I suffer the consequences. Sometimes, i feel na im so overrated. I’m not as diligent as some of my other classmates, i just get lucky. To be honest, last sem was one hell of a sem for me. No expectations, nothing at all. I just did my homework, studied, studied and studied. At the end of the sem, i was shocked. Really. I wasn’t expecting anything, an 85 was a dream average. i repeat, a dream. I don’t know what good i’ve done to deserve what i got last sem. That was more than what i wanted. But i am so thankful. And i want to do it again–and go overboard what ive achieved last sem.

Di ko alam kung paano ko gagawin, that’s the problem. I want to be consumed with my ardor and passion for the law. I want to become a good lawyer–no, i want to become the best lawyer that i can be. That i can only do if i study every single night like last sem. I want to be good at what i love most. What’s more, i want to be a better person through my study of the law. The problem is, it’s really difficult acquiring the discipline that will enable you to become a good lawyer. At this point, i realize that passion is an edge–but passion is one thing, discipline and hardwork is another.

I believe that the next few weeks and months in this sem are very crucial to my study of the law. I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer–that is undisputed. But the path towards achieving a long time dream is not a walk in the park. One has to gather her strength and face the world with an unwavering gaze indicative of the zealous desire to weather whatever unforseen thing or event there is. At the end of it all, whatever there is left to combat is just a matter of faith, passion and determination. I see myself holding my diploma for juris doctor on March 2009. The law is my passion and I am ready for whatever it takes to get me where I’ve always wanted to be.
