My life weirds me out. If I came to myself for legal advice, I couldn't afford me. (No worries, I have reduced rates for life long friends.) Law school does not adequately prepare you for the adversarial process, the name calling, the screaming, the hostility...To date, I have been called "really young" "naive" "shady" "M'AM!!" & "discourteous".
I will add the title "professor" to this litany in the Fall. I have accepted an adjunct position teaching a course in Victimology. I tried to explain to the interviewer that I am not qualified because I do not have degree in Forensics or Psychology. Apparently my work with victims of domestic violence sealed the deal. Nevertheless, I am excited to teach but I am a little concerned I might be boring?
I am 100% focused on my career and pushing myself to be the best possible attorney for each and every client. As I celebrate marriages and babies with each of you and many other friends, I am beginning to wonder when or if a family is meant for my life? Still hoping and praying. Finding peace in faith.
Xoxo.
So proud of you Dport! You have accomplished a lot and worked so hard to get to where you are right now! Just take life one step at a time and be the most kick-ass attorney ever...the rest will all fall into place. Love you!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you know this, but one thing that has been proven to me over and over again now that I am out of school: there are A LOT of idiots in the world. In fact, idiots are the majority. Don't let them phase you. Just brush off your shoulders, although perhaps not in front of them.
ReplyDeleteThat course sounds fascinating and I am sure you will be great! And definitely not boring.
All in due time, love. We're still young. Heart you. I hope that peace follows you wherever you go.
