MY LIFE AS A LAW STUDENT

This is my first post and I’d like to take a moment to talk about the most important part of my life right now.

We all have that reason why we chose whatever course or profession we’re into. For some it was a movie they watched, others were inspired (or forced) by their parents, some just didn’t know what else they could possibly do. I chose law because of two reasons. Firstly i was mesmerized by the idea of litigation and wanted to by all means study and understand it. Secondly was the influence of the debates i participated in throughout my highschool years. I thought my passion would be enough to see me through but that wasn’t until i came into the faculty of law in the university of Jos. My first year thought me more than enough about the fact that passion wasn’t going to be enough. I had to walk to various lecture halls within the university sometimes only to find out that they were cancelled. I had to pay for dues and associations i knew nothing about not to talk about the fact that almost everything was new to me. I was drained physically, financially and mentally. That’s when it hit me “my passion isn’t enough to cut it”. I needed grit and a strategy so i found these and put them to use because i knew that i would need everything i had to get what i wanted. That’s what we all need our passions and a set of guidelines, beliefs and a strategy. Whatever you’re doing, enjoy yourself but have a plan.

I’ll be making posts on various topics at least once a week. It could be poetry, an article or just a review. Welcome to my world of thoughts.
