So I saw this quote today and it really made me think about my own way into my dream legal career. \u00a0Ever since I was little I was going to be a lawyer, and I was going to study Law at university and go on to become a barrister.<\/p>\n

But when I look back on how I imagined it was all going to be, my journey has taken a very different route and taken a lot longer than I had ever dreamt it would and I still have a fair way to go…<\/p>\n

Then I think to myself, would I change all of this that I have now, to have had 3 years at University where I would now have already done the BPTC and be hoping to find a Pupillage\u2026 in all honesty, probably not.<\/p>\n

Whilst I would love to already be at that stage and whilst I cannot wait to graduate and move onto the next chapter, I have gained so much experience, lived a life and been able to achieve and do things I never would have been able to had I gone to University like I always wanted to. \u00a0I have been on holidays and seen some of the world, I have worked in law firms and developed my legal knowledge and experience, I have networked and undertaken Mini Pupillages and I have marshalled judges in court. \u00a0I have set up a website to remind myself of my journey and to encourage others, I have written articles which have been published and I am getting published in a book. \u00a0I have also learnt how to work with people, and how to work in general, I have learnt the value of money, and how amazing it is do something with money you have worked hard for.<\/p>\n

I have also proved to myself that it is possible, and you can hold down a full time job and study if you really put your mind to it. \u00a0It is by no means easy, but it will all be worth it in the end.<\/p>\n

My journey is far from over, but I am more determined than ever to make it!<\/p>\n

Keep working hard everyone, dreams really do come true, if you put your mind to it!<\/p>\n
