I am currently taking an Appellate Advocacy class and I have my oral arguments coming up soon. I seriously need to get thicker skin for my choice of vocation. If I am going to be a lawyer I need the guts to not be afraid to speak my mind in front of an audience aka courtroom full of people. We had our first round of oral arguments for practice last night. It consisted of an 8 min argument for petitioner, followed by a 10 min argument for the Respondent, and lastly a 2 min rebuttal by the petitioner. I was sooooo nervous I think I almost puked. But I went up and I did my thang and my professor said I did really well. I've had some confidence issues since you know I'm a transfer and some people may have the view that I don't really deserve to be at Loyola because I didn't get in my first year. Well, to that I say "talk to the Hand."
I think that's why I've been a little unmotivated because I have this dumb thinking that I can't compare to them. Ugh why do I have to be such a negative nancy sometimes. No more negative nancy only Confident Krysta! (great alliteration huh) Wish me luck on the final Oral Arguments, I need to Kick ass.
Don't be a negga.
