In the last three years I've learned a couple things about law.
1. No one is proven "innocent". This was learned after I asked if the defendant was proven innocent and it was followed with a laugh of hysteria from my husband (please note that I used the term "defendant" properly, at least I think I used it properly) as he explained that he was proven "not guilty" and that the jury does not vote on innocence.
2. I would not make a good attorney. Not only could I never get through those books you have to read in law school, or briefs you have to write ( still not sure what a brief entails; just know they are long), There is no way I could handle the countless hours you have to spend studying for those exams that your whole grade depends on. It takes a certain kind of person to get through law school and I am not one of them.
I have seen first hand the hard work and dedication that goes into graduating law school. More specifically I have watched what one may call and "over achiever" graduate law school. And that my friends, is a sight to see. I have seen someone read page after page of an outline that they already know because they've made note cards and typed every word onto a word doc. I have watched someone memorize every definition they could possibly think of because "you never know if it will be on the exam". I have watched someone get bummed over a 92. Yes, a 92 bummed my husband out. I have witnessed the hardest working man I know absolutely dominate law school. To say I'm proud of him is quite the understatement. I may not have learned much about the law but I certainly learned a lot about my husband. He worked HARD. He gives nothing but his best at all times. To him, good is not good enough, he strives to be GREAT at all he does. Not just in law school and work, but as a husband, now father, and follower of Christ. He is a man to be admired. And I am more amazed by him every day. I know this sounds cheese ball and overly complimentary but he is more than deserving of these affirmations. He is exactly the type of person I want on my team. He gives his all, every time, all the time. I am so proud of him for his accomplishments and I praise God for the goodness He has bestowed upon our family. I know that as Peter prepares for the bar exam, God will be guiding him to work just as hard as ever. I have the utmost confidence in him as a man, husband, and soon to be attorney;)
Congrats PT!
