I'm enrolled in law school right now. Freshman law. And all that I came to expect is the worst. Every night or two, I digest cases, memorize codal provisions, and the worst of all, to recite in front of "terror" professors. To be honest, I lack courage, not as a total coward, but in facing my fears. Yes, I have read all the materials and cases, but the recitation's the hard part. I may know everything that I've read, it's just that I'm having difficulty expressing myself. What am I going to do?
And yeah, I've heard law school can get pretty ****ty sometimes. My brother goes to Harvard Law, in Boston...he tells me it can get hectic. But it's all good, cause once your out of college, you're a very wealthy man.
Why be a billionaire when you could be a TRILLIONAIRE? Get that 300,000$ , and move to Mexico! Novel thinking! Seriously though, I'm not a fan of the American law system, and find it extremely lieant and not strict enough.. but good lawyers make assloads of money. Keep on trucking, and eventually that fat paycheck will land in the palm of your hand.
It seems your career goal AVF281 has swayed people to the topic of money, rather than to help you with your question.
I personally am very into literature and writing. Just like you, I can almost always gather what I learn and understand it easily, but it's always difficult for me to speak out to an audience about that knowledge. More in my past English classes I have found this difficult, although my AP English class this year has a much more suitable and mature atmosphere, so it's been little more comfortable for me.
Don't be afraid of anxiety AVF281, it's a completely natural state. I am sure there are others in your shoes who fear the same thing, so you aren't alone (which should build more confidence). Also you are a freshman in law school, so the professor must already know to expect some anxieties, so he isn’t (hopefully) going to crush you. I know by personal experience one of the natural things I (and humans in general) usually fear is inferiority, or in more reasonable terms, a fear that those with more skill and expertise in something will think lowly of you. This isn't always true, because sometimes it's just you being too hard on yourself. Other times it could be just competition and you wanting to exceed your or others abilities/expectations.
So to not go crazy on this topic, I would maybe get a friend and practice your reciting..best if possible with an audience. I hope any of this helps, and good luck.
And as others have been saying, the law business defiantly pays after words. So just hang in there!
