And just like that, my year as a legal practice/master of laws student is over. Not quite sure where the time has gone, but I know that I didn’t envisage ending it like this! • Rewind to December 2019, I hit one of the lowest points mentally throughout my academic career. I questioned whether or not I would see Christmas 2019 with my family, let alone this day today. I recall many journeys home back to Teesside, where I would stand on the platform crying on the phone to my parents because it would be 8pm, and I would be stranded in Leeds/York because my train had been cancelled for whatever rubbish reason Transpennine Express would care to give. • Whether it was a 6am train to Leeds or a 6pm train to Teesside, you would always find me with my head in a book either preparing for my next workshop, or consolidating the last. I always knew that the LLM/LPC qualification was going to be difficult, but deep down I knew it was the final step I had to take before I am able search for a vacancy to practice as a solicitor. • I never thought I had the resilience to pursue a career in the legal sector, and some days I still doubt it if do, but one thing my LPC has taught me, is that you should never give up on something you want so badly. • #postgraduate #LPC #finished #achievement #ulaw #academic #tabs #studynotes #study #studygram #studyaccount #lawschool #lawstudent #traineesolicitor
