If You Love Something So Much, You Wake Up With A Vision That No Matter How Many Times You Failed, Your Going To Try Again One More Time. Never Underestimate What You Can Achieve In Life, Sometimes Life Is About Risking Everything For A Dream That No One Can See But You…

Who I am and where I am today…

Are you a Law Student who studies so hard and is struggling to understand the units? or are you the type of person who never studies all semester, works full time and then complains about not being able to complete your Law degree? Well, I am finally able to admit that I am the sort of person who works full time, goes out on my free time, hardly attends classes and then sit there complain when I fail at the end of the semester. I am the type of person that tries so hard at the beginning of the semester and tries extra hard on the last week of the semester where everything is due. Don’t get me wrong, I still completed all my assessments and studied for exams. I have managed to complete most of my degree. I cannot say I am proud of who I am today but at the same time, I have gone through so much and to be where I am today only God knows how I survived. Having stated that, it does not give a reason as to why I have still not completed my degree.

Even though I am still at University after studying for so many years, I have achieved something and have actually made it all the way through. I have completed most of my degree and only have seven units left. I have completed my College of Law Legal Practice and now having only two electives to complete. We tend to only see our failures in life and we wake up everyday regretting so many things in life but just recently reading the best book I have come across “Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.” That book has taught me so much and I haven’t even finished it yet.

Studying a Law Degree and practicing Law is two different things. It can be so difficult for those people like myself to understand the concept of what the unit is actually about. I have decided that the only way I am going to understand and finally get this degree is by actually trying to explain the unit to other people in writing. I have decided that if I can explain this unit to people in my words than I am finally able to say that I understand it myself. This will also encourage me to read the actual textbook and understand each topic before entering the exam.

My Dream

Everyone has a Dream and for some that dream might never come true but I believe that if you have a dream that you think about from the moment you wake up to the moment you sleep than you should not give it up. We are always quitting after we are defeated by someone’s words, someone’s actions and mostly by our own brain telling us “We cannot do it.” My Dream is to one day open my own Law firm as a Lawyer and marry this Indian Prince Charming. This dream seems a long way to go as today I still do not have that Law Degree nor do I have an Indian Prince Charming. We tend to forget that no matter what we do in life, at the end of the day God is the one that makes things possible for us.

Since Year 8, I have been going to Courts and seeing lawyers as my role models as to me, a lawyer is someone who seems like an angel who gets people’s voice heard. But since Year 8, I was told I was unable to do law due to circumstances I was in and even till I had finished School. But then I still tried again, I studied at Sydney TAFE completing my Diploma of Legal Services in which enabled me to be accepted in University the year after. So, since then I have been in the process of completing this degree.

My other dream was always Marketing but I never went after it as I thought I will focus one thing at a time. Maybe when I am done with this degree, I will pursue marketing in my Law firm. Having worked for six years in Law Firms, I always was part of the marketing team aswell as it had interest me so much. But I had never been able to actually run my own show and do it the way I want to market where people can actually depend on me.

As I have mentioned before, God’s timing is always the right one and he made that dream come true for me this year. Maybe, I still do not have my Law Firm, degree or Indian Prince Charming but atleast the dream I once had is in my hands right now. Not only that, I was given that opportunity to run my own show. I am given that authority that I had longed for so many years. It was not the position I had applied for as at the time I just needed a job but now I am actually working my dream job.

Finally, I am in a position not only has it been my dream but also got the things I have been dreaming about my whole life. Like the cards that were made under my name as an Office Manager. It is the little things in life that matter the most. So, point of the story is that we should never allow people to judge us because we are all trying to achieve our dreams. Maybe what I am doing right now is not reaching to certain people’s standards but to be honest, I do not care anymore. The reason being if God has open so many doors at the moment, what makes me even doubt that my other dreams are not going to come true.

I have learnt that if you love something so much, you wake up with a vision that no matter how many times you failed, your going to try again one more time. Never underestimate what you can achieve in life, sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream that no one can see but you… To me, swimming at 5:30am under the rain is just the best feeling, it makes me realise that life is so precious and keeps me going by not giving up. We all need to dream for tomorrow and wake up to make that Dream Come True….
