TOP FIVE REASONS TO STICK WITH YOUR LAW DEGREE

WRITTEN BY KAT

Feeling bored? Apathetic? Is the best part about your law degree skipping class to lunch with friends?

You know assessments and exams will be here to ruin your early semester reverie soon enough, but you’re feeling uninspired. It was exciting back when you started this crazy little thing called law, but this semester you like law school about as much as Voldemort liked Harry Potter. No wonder you’re pretty keen to bail. But should you?

Sir:

Greetings,

This is to inform you that, I, Jocelle Osana G. Dela Cruz, a freshman student from LLB 1-6 of Polytechnic University of the Philippines, College of Law, Sta. Mesa, Manila have successfully accomplished the First Semester of Academic year 2012-2013.

I handled to survive the 1^st semester despite all the circumstances I faced along the way, however, due to our family's financial problem, I will not be able to enroll for the 2^nd semester which is a very painful decision on my part since going to law school and the stress it brings have been part of my daily routine.
