I cannot believe I am in my second year of law school. As much as I dreaded coming here again, it was sort of nice to be done with the agony of the first year and feel a sense of entitlement as a second year. It was strange seeing students in the hallway that I didn't know; last year our inaugural class was the only class that roamed the halls. Now we've got to share the territory!
I felt conflicted about the first year students' presence; I simultaneously felt like warning them about what they were getting into and (perhaps advise them to run the other way) while on the other hand, secretly and snarkily giggle to myself about how big egos would soon topple.
The sad thing is, not once did I think about the third option: You'll go through difficulties but stick it out! After all, that's what I did; that's what millions of people through the ages have done. I hope never to think the opposite again. I hope never to forget why I came here in the first place, because that reminder is the only thing that keeps me here.

Gini! Congratulations to making it to the second year! You've worked hard and I know that you'll work as hard, perhaps more so this year! I admire you for "sticking it out" and I'm glad that you still have the passion to fight on!!! Go Gin!
