At this point in my life, I met new faces, encountered new atitudes and had gone to different places. Im in lawschool for a dream. I know this is something I want to give a try. I know I am academically prepared for it. I know I have to do it for me, my family, and the society I want to serve. Its me and my dream all along.
However, as I go along, I realized, I didn't think of encountering new people who will rouse me to question my dream and my life. All I ever thought was me and my dream. I didn't prepare for people who may be way out of my league after four years. I never thought I would be put into a test such as this. All I ever thought was me and my dream that this is what I want to do.
Its a lapse of judgment on my part not to think of people whom I will meet in lawschool. And encountering and being with them had caught me off-guard. I had prided myself on being me, on staying firm on my stand and living my life with no pretenses. But as I meet these people, all this time, I tried to blend, I tried to fit in. But only after 3 weeks, Im roused to consciousness. Thank GOd!
I realized I should be me. I should never try to copromise who I am just to please people. I should not mind what other people are doing but instead focus on my stuff. i should never lse faith. I am studying law for a dream. I should never compete on anybody but myself. Afterall, my greatest enemy is myself. I once conquered myself, and I'll do it again.
