Saturday, I received the final decision from Georgia State University’s School of Law. At this time, they will not be granting me admission to their program. This was the last decision I was waiting on. At first, I was a little shook up and saddened by there response. My initial reaction was I give so much to the legal community and want to be able to give more but how can I continue to do that without a law degree? I was pondering all weekend and then realized that perhaps this is not my time to go to law school.
Lately, I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with everything going on and really trying to refocus my time and energy on the one that needs it the most- me! So, I have decided that I am going to look at this as a blessing and keep moving forward.
I am going to continue to work on my health- getting in shape and losing weight. Saturday I did a 5k in the rain and cold and it was wonderful even though I thought I would hate it. I also went to the gym yesterday and worked out. I am eating healthier foods and being conscious of what I am eating. There are others things I want to do for my well-being including yoga and meditation classes so I am going to look into those.
This year will be my year to finish my masters degree. Perhaps grow my mediation business part-time, hopefully teach a little more since I love it and take a little more time for me. If it does not make me happy, I am not going to do it. I am going to learn to say no when I really do not want to take on a project or a task.
A work in progress,
Michael
I went through the process and failed to gain entry into law school as well. It has been a good thing for me that I did not go to law school.
ReplyDeleteAs for the being healthier - I am with ya there brother! I went to boot camp this morning and was pleasantly surprised that I WAS NOT the MOST out of shape person there!
We would love to go walk/jogging around Stone Mountain on the weekends if you are ever up for it let me know!
I am going to weight watchers tonight, have not weighed in in 2 weeks. Wish me luck!!
You can do it! I think you are choosing the right priorities! Hope to see you more soon!
Hugs and kisses - Chrissy
Michael,
ReplyDeleteI believe everything happens for a reason, even the dissapointing things can point us in a new, more positive direction sometimes. Never loose sight of your dreams. If law school is something you truly want, then make it happen at a time that is right for you.
You are young and fabulous and can do anything you want.

Way to turn life's lemons into lemonade! I am so proud of you (everyday) for all of the things that you do and don't even realize you are doing. You have always been destined for greatness, the path to get there just may have changed a bit...I love you<3
