Back to Blogging...

I started this blog almost a year ago in hopes to document my adventures as a law student. Well let me just go ahead and say that 1L year was a little bit more than overwhelming and I didn't exactly keep up with my blogging! It was definitely a year of growth and self discovery and I pushed myself to work harder than I have ever worked before. Was it worth it? most definitely. Would I do it all over again? who really wants to go through 1L again? haha but really I know that if I could go back and choose whether or not to go to Law School I would still definitely choose this path. I made some amazing friends, who are actually more like family. No one else really understands what you are going through except for your fellow classmates, I made good grades, had so much fun in the 1L moot court competition, but most importantly I SURVIVED 1L! This summer I have been blessed with the opportunity to intern in the judicial circuit in my hometown...let me just go ahead and say that I have been there for less than 2 weeks and I already know there will be many more crazy adventures in store this summer. I have always wanted to be a prosecutor, so this summer is the time when I am really trying to figure out what exactly it is that I want to do with my life. I have some great mentors and have been lucky to grow up with such a loving and supporting family. So far I LOVE my internship! I'm working with people that have literally known me since I was born, so I was a little worried at first that they wouldn't take me seriously, but so far everything has been great and I have already learned SO much! I can't believe that I'm actually at that point in my life where I am planning and making decisions that will have such a huge impact on my life, like what I want to do for a job and where I want to live one day. On another note... Some big opportunities are in store for my family (careerwise)and there may be some changes to come (all good), but I know that it is in God's hands and whatever happens is going to happen for a reason. Throughout this process my parents have been blessed with amazing support from family and friends, and I am so thankful for their support.
