Christmas vacation is approaching which means that another semester is coming to a close. The closing of this semester means that I am only one more away from finally finishing my undergraduate education. The end of my undergraduate career finds me reflecting on how I have handled a lot of the challenges that I have been faced with. I have come a long way in my undergraduate journey from where I thought I would be as I entered college. I now realize that I had no realistic aim or ambition as I entered college, and the struggles I have faced have led me to discover some of these ambitions.
The family has a vacation planned to the Florida Keys for us this year, hopefully to escape some of the cooler weather here in South Carolina. Unfortunately for me however, I will likely spend a good portion of this vacation preparing for another one of my newfound ambitions, becoming an attorney. This means that I will be preparing for the LSAT, which I will be taking for the second time this upcoming January, rather than catching rays on the beach all day. While my family is out scuba diving I will be firmly planted behind a desk with my nose in a book, running through practice questions.
I know that this sounds like a less than ideal use of time when one is in such as place as the Florida Keys, but I have come to realize over the past semester that these aspirations I have, and anything in life worth achieving, often does not come without sacrifice. Hopefully the sun will still be there in a few months for me to enjoy its rays then, once I have finished the length law school application process.
Til next time.
