As told on one of my previous blogs, I failed a recitation because of missing to read one case. But fortunately, in my PERSONS class, I was called again by the professor and stood up for almost two hours. In my last recitation, I was told to seat down because of not reading a case and that means failure. And there is rumors that that professor only call a student once a semester in a recitation and I assume that I would fail that subject already because of that. As said earlier, I was standing for almost two hours in class while the professor asked me several consecutive questions. But luckily, I knew all the provisions of law he was talking about, that's why I managed to answer all the questions correctly but with some minor mistakes on the use of words but generally, that was excellent. By the way, the questions asked are some various provisions of marriage which are quite easy for me to understand. Situations like these may boost the morale of the student and redeem his pride from the grave failure that he experienced.
Taking up law school is not a joke. Talking it up just to try law school is a very stupid decision. It's either you take it because you REALLY WANT TO BE A LAWYER or don't take Law School. Taking up law without the STRONG ASPIRATION to be a lawyer is a sure failure not necessarily in subjects and in bar exam but in LIFE. In law school, failure is always in front of you. There is no way to evade it and the only solution to get rid of it is to destroy it!!!
Last and the most crucial point, now that I am in law school, I realized na wala akong karapatang IPAGMALAKI kung ano mang ang mga nakamit sa sa aking undergraudate. Walang-wala talaga ang experience ko sa undergraduate if I have to compare it with law school. Yes, I get in in to the dean's list in most of the terms and I have a relatively high CGPA but still those achievements are just a big junk of joke comparing it to my situation today. Other law students can also affirm that. I don't say that undergraduate is senseless because there are people who have good and fulfilled undergraduate experience. In my situation, Law school is the real start of College academic life. Undergraduate is a state of NO CHALLENGE for me because of the following reasons:
1. I can get a grade of 3.5-4.0 on other subjects without merely studying at all. Meaning, not taking down notes and not buying or reading the books required.
2. Even I cut almost all the meeting in a particular class, I can still get a high grade.
3. The tasks are very easy compared to law school.
4. Pressure in law school is 10x or even 20x of the pressure I felt in my undergraduate experience.
5. With my achievements right now, I have no ability to get a descent job that I want.
6. Most (but NOT ALL) of the professors in my undergraduate experience are:
a. Karamihan ay NANGHUHULA lang ng grades
b. Favoritism factor
c. Masyadong silang mabait at madali yung pinapagawa
d. Ang alam lang ay kunin ang sweldo kapag end of month
e. Baka humaba pa kapag tinuloy ko pa
Even if may grades are relatively high, eh kung ganyan naman, wala din.
Anong nang pwede kong maipagmalaki para sa sarili ko? wala pa, di ba?
