Reflections

Line: 34 to 34
 Academia is notoriously cutthroat but so is today’s legal industry. We discussed “covering your nut” in class and rationalized our pending financial burdens. But considering my family’s experiences, and the thought of graduating with $300k in student loans and huge family commitments, I cannot help but be motivated by fear.

<		A law license is the right to live and practice the life you want. This is not to say that I’m justified in selling my license. But my life has made me very risk averse and I plan on pursuing my most profitable interests.

 I will become a lawyer. But what kind of lawyer will I be?

<		Whether right or wrong, John Brown had the courage to act upon his principles in the face of the law. He didn’t ignore the responsibility of “knowing what should be known” and “doing what should be done.” I need to embody this level of self-awareness and courage before I proceed in my career. This begins with understanding the behavior, functions, and limitations of the law.

 This summer I will be interning for the general counsel of a quantitative hedge fund. After the financial crisis I took an interest in regulatory reforms and followed those interests to law school. I don’t know if this is what I want to do with my career, but I’ll be happy to see where it takes me.
