WARNING: major emo/drama/ranting moment.
So, since my third year in the University started, I've been talking to my dad about going to Law school after my History degree. He's been saying No, No and No over and over again for the first few times that we talked.
I was actually loosing hope in convincing him to allow me to take Law. He agreed on me taking another course but he doesn't want me to get Law for reasons that I seriously don't know and don't get.
These past few weeks, we were starting to talk again coz I'll be graduating soon. And he asked me again if I wanted to seriously take another course so I said yes. He asked what I wanted to take, and of course I responded with a firm Law. He said it would take me 5 more years if I really did take up Law. and I said I wanted to and I don't care. He still said No.
Later in the evening, we went out to watch Madagascar 2. During dinner, he said if I wanted to study again, I'm the one who's going to arrange my applications and stuff. He asked me if I wanted to go to Ateneo De Manila Law School and I said it would be okay. He recommended University of the Philippines Law School first then he told me to try in Ateneo and in my current school.
Yesterday, we had dinner out because it was my aunt's birthday. My aunt suddenly opened up the topic about Law School again.
and my dad suddenly said, "Donna, ask for your Auntie Deb's permission first before you start looking for law schools."
auntie said, "Jie, let her be! Let her study Law if she wants to. I'll even fund for her education if that's the problem. Its the first time we'll be having a lawyer in the family."
I'm happy that they finally approved. Like, seriously happy. But then, I ask myself now, Will I really be able to study Law? Do I really want to go to Law School for 5 more years? I think I do. I wanna do make a good lawyer. But I guess I have to get over this fandom a bit first before I do pursue this career.
Will I be able to let go of this? Will I be able to concentrate on my studies this time around? I'll be getting application forms starting this month and will be reviewing for the Entrance Exams. I'm scared but excited at the same time.
