Dear Ma'am/Sir,

Let me start this short summary about myself about my journey in the last 6 years.
Back in 2016, I graduated from college.And being the optimistic yet pessimistic
girl that I was, my mantra had always been 'expect the worse and hope for the
best'. Even though, I am completely unaware of the road to where I am heading -
hope for the best - that's what got me through. A day after graduation, I had the
opportunity to immediately start working. The work was great - I had the best
workmates, superior, and I also had the chance to learn a lot of things, e.g
different processes in the banking system. However, at that time as I am still
young and wanted to be adventurous. I felt the need to do something more, the need
to do the extraordinary, the need to take on something in addition to the workload
that I already have. Because, in a way I didn't like settling, not because I wanted
to achieve more per se but because I always feel like there's so much to work on
myself. Thus, I enrolled myself in law school. I graduated during the peak of the
Pandemic, and going back to my earlier mantra, I have been expecting the worse;
that the last 4 years that went into studying law was not worth it. There were days
where I would keep on telling myself that this better be worth it one day, hen I
realize that no one else can make it 'worth it' other than myself. Law School was
definitely the something more that I was looking for - not only did it help me to
open my eyes in various things, it also helped me to be more responsible with my
time, to arrange all the files that I have for easier access, to carry out tasks
assigned diligently, to making my written and oral communication skills better, to
not get overwhelmed and to remain grounded and calm under pressure, among others.
From the experiences that it gave me, stuff it taught me, and things that it
exposed me. Entering Law School has got to be one of those things that I am
grateful for my past self. Now, even though what I am currently busying myself with
is vastly different from the path that I have took for the past 6 years, I am not
anymore taunted and doubtful. Given all the uncertainties that the universe is
throwing at all of us, I know I just gotta start with where I am and with what I
have. To make use of the advantages that are in my corner i.e power of social
media, internet, books.
I no longer expect for the worse. I have now set myself in the reality that I can
only do this much and that doing this much is not really that bad. That sometimes,
all it takes is an infinite open-mindedness and willingness to learn.
