My first month of law school felt like a whirlwind. The dense readings, countless panel discussions, lengthy case briefs, innumerable networking events, late nights and early mornings, all while navigating the transition from small Midwest suburbs to the big city, has certainly tested my will despite the infancy of my law school journey. As the saying goes, however, pressure is a privilege. It truly is a blessing to be living out an answered prayer. Despite the many moving parts, I’ve found solace in the moments of stillness (although rare) where I am able to reflect on the journey to get where I am today. More importantly, those moments allow me to refocus my attention to the core of my “why” when it comes to law school.
