I feel like a completely different student finishing second year than I did when I finished first year. Probably because after first year, I barely knew anything legal because the first year of the program was so generalized. After finishing second year I have the confidence I need to be successful working in a law firm. It made going to interviews easier as well, because overall I just felt like I had so much more legal knowledge.
I really enjoyed blogging through my placement. I loved reading about everyone else's experiences and how differently things are done at different law firms. If we were not blogging through out work placement, then I would have been wondering how everything was going for people.
I was well prepared for the workplace. I mean, school is too short to be able to cover everything, but for the most part I am familiar with the jargon, paperwork, formatting etc. I am very happy with the education I was taught through the legal program.
I have chosen the right career path for me. I love law and that is why I was so interested in taking this program. I came back to school as a mature student and was terrified that I would not be able to complete the program. But I did, and I did a good job. I am proud of myself. This is something I have wanted to accomplish in my life for a long time.
I think I have set the bar high for myself when it comes to expectations in the workplace. I know that I always want to do things the right way and efficiently.
Well, I can't believe that this will be my last blog post and that tomorrow is officially the end of the Office Administration - Legal program. It is a bitter sweet end. Going back to school and attending school for the last two years has been a wonderful and positive experience in my life. I am so happy and thankful that I had the opportunity to further my education. Thank you Mrs. Bradley for being such a supportive and understanding professor. Thank you to all my classmates that helped me out when I had questions! I will miss everyone and I hope we all try to stay in touch just a little through the Facebook group.
See everyone at graduation! Cheers!!!
