It takes a lot for me at times to not allow my fear of failure to cripple me. The fact that I also struggle with feeling unintelligent and less than others is a struggle as well.
In spite of these fears, I want to go to law school. I have been blessed to have many wonderful people in my life who are incredibly supportive of this decision. They offer encouragement and support on a regular basis and listen to me rant and rave about how I'm going to apply to University of Hawaii. :) (as unrealistic a dream as it may be. . . )
Then there are the people who are not encouraging, but are destructive. I think that some people underestimate me and put me into a box and expect me to stay there. I'm fairly girly - not stupid. It does not make me an idiot or less capable than anyone else.
Unfortunately, it is the haters whose opinions stick the most. My goal: to prove them wrong.
