I FAILED my first year at bar school

Yup… and I am keeping things together the best way that I can. I got all D’s with one C on my exams. Rules say that I cannot even review if I have more than 2 D’s and I have four others with that one C.

I’m going to review my scripts today. So, in order for me to resit the 1st year I would have to pay $35,000.00. If I had $35k or could raise that easily, I would not be in law school. llolol…

But, I have failed. And it stings a bit, especially when people are noticing that I am not on the publication list and are asking me what happened.

I’m going to try to raise enough for the down payment for the resit at the very least. Will see what the markers say on my exam scripts this morning- and if there is any way I can appeal, I will.

We will see.

Try and get any feedback from the exam to see where you could have done better.

Have to now scrap up the money to go at it again. It is not uncommon for people to fail at the bar the first time. I’m just trying to live through the bit of pain and the growing intense feeling of worthlessness… I’m trying my hardest to beat back those feelings of depression and suicidal thoughts. I’ve been here before so I know how to handle myself in these moments now.

I see what some say about education. It is only meant to teach you how to conform and take the easy life. It is not meant to be liberating, even though that is what it is supposed to do. No wonder why so many millionaires and billionaires either dropped out or decided not to go. What is needed to pass exams is not needed for making applications in the real world. I see that now and see why some people dropped out and went to work for themselves.

However, I still will get an education. Because it can only help, now that you know the truth and your eyes are open to the reality.
