While I sit here in front of my laptop, reflect the things that happened the past few months and try to put into words what happened in my first semester of law school, it's now clear to me the parallels of law school with my output in life.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed reading the cases assigned in my classes. I loved the Socratic method in class most especially when I see my classmates able to answer with all their might our God-like professors. Most of all, I like the practicality of studying the law, and the skills being practiced in law school. But I guess I just realized the beauty of law school in the latter part of the semester.
I'm not happy with the outcome of my hard work. But the silver lining in this situation is the fact that I'll be coming back next semester. And I'm not going to start my semester with fear or the feeling of failure, just like what happened last time. I'm not going to face my cases nor readings with scorn. And I'll face my recits with calm and the belief that I could do it.
My first semester in law school has definitely revealed my weaknesses. But on the bright side, I know I can still improve. So this is a reminder to myself that it is okay to stumble once in a while in law school. What I need to do is to bounce back as fast I can in order to prepare myself from the other perils or possible scenarios in law school.
It's time to move on and get ready for the next semester with hope.
