life is not linear is what i’ve been trying to tell myself these days. i’ve never really experienced failure in life till now and i’m not going to let myself look at it as only that: a failure. i want to use this year to make myself better, in every way. this failure will be a positive for me- not a negative. my motivation and drive will hold strong. i will reapply next year to law schools, and i will make myself such a strong candidate that they cannot say no. never let a little sidestep in life completely derail your dreams.
