Shay Cole pre-law

Okay, not really That was an exaggeration, but it had been my dream to be a lawyer I joined mock trial I was a witness the first year The head defense lawyer my second year

I knew my shit

I knew the loopholes I knew all the motions, what I could object to, what I couldn’t, and what I still wanted the ioing to become a lawyer

Until Iwent downhill froht away over the first couple of weeks:

1 Me Too boring for me I knew I’d have to cut h school, I sure as hell did in college

3 I needed to learn how to study

4 Arrogant pricks could be real assholes in college, too

Shay Coleroups of four or five" The professor raised the worksheet in the air "Go over these discussion questions, and one person will share with the class Go"
