𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞! We are so caught up in what our next steps are, I feel the majority of us are guilty (no pun intended) of forgetting how far we have come and what we have achieved. Most of you who follow me will have done their LLB/GDL or a different degree entirely. Now pause... think about it for a second, you have a degree to your name, a Bachelors of Laws or whatever it is you might of grafted your ass off for, to your name! No one will take that away from you! You will in one, two years’ time, if you haven’t already graduated, have a Masters of Laws to your name! What an achievement, you did that, no one else but you! Amongst qualifications, what about other achievements? For me, I won my university’s mooting competition, selected to represent the LLB cohort on the student panel to interview the potential new dean, selected to go to Lincoln’s Inn networking event, attained witness support accreditation, I also have a HDip in Paralegal Practice, I attained 80 in my Family Law portfolio, I landed a job at an amazing firm... all these things we forget about because we are too focused on what we need to do next! Aside from that, what about outside career/education orientated aspects we are lucky to have? I have a very supportive dad who has brought me up on his own since the age of 10 as my mum passed away, none of this would be possible without him, my friends are a dream come true, they understand my journey and commitment to the career and are there by my side along the way (I love you amyfoxo courtney_dcxx leighrobinson1994 mills.rochelle phoebecallison), I’m very lucky to be able to have my little Dazzle in my life to give me that escape... I could go on with the elements of my life I’m grateful for. What 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐰𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐃𝐍’𝐬 trying to say is, stop getting so caught up in the ‘what needs to be done next’ phase and look back on how far you’ve come and what you’ve got in your life. Yes qualification is the ultimate goal but it will come in good time. Stop, breathe, reflect and enjoy the process. Note - name and face blanked out as I want this to be an anonymous blog. #lpc #llm #masters #uol
