What's your dream?
Amal Clooney is a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers, specialising in international law and human rights. Her clients include Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, in his fight against extradition. Below is a picture of her, proof you can have brains and beauty!! She is also multi-faceted an activist and very wealthy such an inspiration. From a very young age I've always been fascinated with the routes that barristers take, which a total of 7 years of training or more, the most experience barristers can earn up to 40,000£ a year. Obviously, this would differ if you were just starting out. But is all the years of studying worth-it, with the result of being in a very prestigious, reputable job? I think yes. I never was exactly sure if I can handle what my study of LLB (Latin for law) would entail. Academically, to make it to a 'barrister' vocation, you will need to complete an undergraduate degree in law (LLB). You will then apply to the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) which takes a year full-time to complete or 2 years part time. Entry to the Bar is exceptionally competitive so you’ll need at least a 2.i in your undergraduate degree (if not better) to be considered; scary.
I mean a lot of people have been saying to me that it is going to be a lot to handle, and 'a lot of reading', So I think how hard can it be. If i can use transitional phrases, to illustrate that I know how to write, therefore, could it give me extra marks. Moreover, if I was to be comprehensive, to read as widely as possible, would this give me so much more of an advantage? And lastly if I had passion, if I lived and breathed my education, would I one day be successful? I wont know until I try, even if I fail, 'failure is the indication to do things a second time, but more intelligently'. For years I have been judged on my intelligence and capabilities at school. I was even told by my teacher that I think I am good at a subject and I am not; evidently, I was able to prove her wrong and myself. Yet, I have always been modest, spiritual. Life is short, God blessed me with so many talents, he blessed me with so many set-backs which enabled me to become the best person that I can be. I don't want to die as though I have never lived. I intend to live life to the full, be a philanthropist, help others, make others laugh, smile, love more. My dream is to change the world...but is it possible?
