Parting Words
By Darina Boykova
Right now, you might think you are just a piece of a puzzle:
A small gear in a law machine – continuously spinning and spinning.
Uncertainty and doubt might be boarding you up like a muzzle,
Forcing your desire of sharing your thoughts to start thinning.
Believe us, we know the feeling –
There is almost 300 of us just in 1L!
And alongside there is this suspicion, disheartening and unappealing,
That in order to stand out as a lawyer, you need to excel.
Thankfully, the facts of the case show that you matter to a higher degree.
In reality, we want to see not your grades or your awards, but your persona as a whole.
Not everything has to be about law – a reasonable person would agree;
Presenting your expressions, ideas, and opinions is our goal.
It might be hard to see your worth in the sea of perceived diamonds, being a gem.
But do not get lost in the wilderness of this unsure thought;
Focus on your interests, and maybe write an article for ExCuria on them!
As you only live once, and to live it fully and contentedly you ought.
