| Favorite Song |
I pretty much like all music |
| Career Goals |
Officially undecided, but leaning towards working as in-house counsel for a hospital or possible HMO. |
| Strengths |
My biggest strength may be my ability to juggle a lot of different things, including school, work, family, friends and occasionally sleep. It is difficult to find the right balance for all of those things while keeping them in priority. It may have arisen out of necessity, but it has definitely become a strength of mine. |
| Quote of Encouragement |
Stay organized! With all you have to do in law school, being unorganized is not an option. Everyone will have to balance their life with law school, and taking time to sit down and make a schedule is the key. Time for friends, family and whatever else is going to be scarce. Staying on top of it all will help you be efficient in school and still maintain a life outside of school. |
