After working 13 years as a police officer, I finally found what my passion is. I love to advocate for people. I never fit in with the "cop culture" I just stuck around for the pay check. I have a 16 year old and a 2 year old, both girls. When I was pregnant with my youngest, my passion to do better ignited.I found a new energy and a new passion. Life didnt seem so dull anymore. I bought a Kaplan LSAT prep book while on desk duty 2 years ago, (I didn't know better). My goal is to start law school the year my youngest starts pre k. My oldest would be graduating from high school at that time. The idea that I am too old has crossed my mind and I have even been told I was too old. But the fact of the matter is that somebody will need this old attorney some day....I will be too old when Im dead.
I am currently in the phase of doing timed logical reasoning drills! Today, was my second day and my results were horrible. I feel like I have grasped the concept of all the logical reasoning question types, BUT, when I put a time to it, I feel like I have lost brain cells..... My goal is to get at least the first 10 questions in under 10 minutes or possibly start on the harder questions first.... Some encouragement and explanation please
I am 41 with two children Plus one on the weekends because my significant other has partial custody. My oldest is 15 and my youngest is one. The thought about what I am doing for the legacy of my family outweighs how old I am when I start. Its not about age its about what your doing with your age. For me I confident in saying, Im 41, I have two children and I still have enough fight in me to go after my goals. Before anyone opens their mouth to tell you that your too old, you would have already plead your case. Wear your age well, dont let your age wear you.
