Celebrate

Believe it or not the Fourth of July Holiday is this weekend. I am so excited to spend time with family. Sleeping outside, going early to the hot air balloons and enjoying a round of kickball and fireworks in the evening. The only thing that might make this better is cinnamon bears and nachos.

Lessons Learned

Today I went to meet with one of my law professors about my ability to interview clients. I had to do a mock interview that was taped and then sit down with my professor to critique it.
I did not feel confident about my interview and left on the day I did it feeling like I have a lot to learn (which I do).
The discussion with my professor was about an hour long and very helpful. Professor Smith did a wonderful job of helping me to see my strengths, areas to improve, and making me feel like I actually right on track.
One thing she pointed out about me is that I am a problem solver which is good but sometimes I try to solve the problem to quickly, before I have enough information. As I thought about this insight I realized that this is so true about me. So for all of you friends and family out there that I have given quick advice to please know that I now realize I did not have the whole story most the time.
It is amazing what law school can teach you!
