1. Day 22—Your Academics

    Oh dear. What a day for this one!

    I am in law school. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t strive for academic excellence. Right now I spend almost every waking hour studying. In fact I just returned from an almost 14 hour day and that will be normal for the next month.

    Academics have always been important to me. I remember my mom taking away my homework in kindergarten and making me go play. Even at that age I wanted everything to be done just right. I had to do my very best.

    Today I thought a lot about my life in DC and how much easier it was to have a job. but if I ever get the opportunity to go back to school I know I would do it. I thrive in academic environments. I like it here.
