1. What made you decide to take up legal studies?

There are so many things that made up my mind in taking this legal studies. First, is for
myself. I know that not everyone have the access to almost unlimited knowledge and I
appreciate it that I have an opportunity to enter and study in law school. I will grab this
opportunity of mine to expand my knowledge specifically in law. Aside from broadening
my knowledge, it will also benefit me from protecting myself from the abuse. Second,
this is not just for me. This is also to my relatives, friends and other people who is in
need of help specially with their rights. Third and last, since law applies in everyday of
our life, studying legals also open lots of opportunities. The competition might be high,
but the rewards are well worth it. You won’t have to worry about losing your job either,
since regular individuals, business people, and companies will always need lawyers.

2. Among the living and dead lawyers, who do you admire, and why do you
admire him/her?
Not yet lawyer or maybe I should call them a “lawyer in progress”. I’m referring to my
fellow law students who struggle just like me and I admire them for continuing. A
“lawyer” is a result of a hard working law student. As a law student, we are always torn
between continuing our dreams or giving up and choosing our dream is not always that
easy as we need to exert efforts, time and energy as well. Its not easy but nothing good is
easy. We need to be consistence in order to reach the “Lawyer” title. Because “Lawyer”
are those people who strip over their fear and succeed. That is the reason why i admire a
law student because that is the hardest part to become a lawyer.

3. What will be the best description of yourself as a successful lawyer?

An ambitious and upbeat individual who never lets the opinions of others stop her from
getting what she wants with a fashion-forward style and determinate characteristic. An
honest and loyal to his country and its people. A person that will conduct herself as a
lawyer according to the best of my knowledge and discretion, with all good fidelity.
