I have never been this concerned about time. Just by the thought of a ticking clock, Ifeel time has been wasted. I am a very ambitious person and I feel so capable, however most of the time I doubt myself. I have been living my life in mediocrity. I dont like competition. It makes me uncomfortable. I try as hard as I can to build my ambition inside my mind and make my way up in a discreet manner. And whenever Isucceed in anything, thats the time I can tell everybody about my eforts. This time, the clock is ticking and I am still here proving myself in law school.I graduated on time with a egree in !olitical "cience in college. # years of mediocrity. $ell, in my opinion, I wasnt slacking. %ut neither did I do my best in school because I only study when its necessary.I was a bit bothered with the kind of environment I am in during those time. %ut I did it.After graduation, I took the &ivil "ervice '(am without really studying that much )but I did study, especially math*, I passed. And then simultaneously, I decided and asked my parents if I can proceed to +aw "chool. I got the go signal and took the entrance e(am and passed. Then my luck in e(ams stopped there. +aw school is no place for luck. This time, I learned the lesson the hard way. ,ou gotta work for it.+aw school taught me so much. Aside from the fact that you will learn aloooot from this study because of the massive number of readings assigned, it taught me more that the academe. I learned humility and patience. It taught me respect and perseverance. +aw school gave me another chance to view life in a diferent angle. It wasnt easy.Thinking about my family and their e(pectations plus the reality I am into right now is kinda di-cult to bear. The series of failures I have dealt with in this course made me so conscious about myself. I am embarrassed. I cannot imagine disappointing my parents.
