Pity Party--Wanna dance?
What it is it about the legal profession that just sucks the confidence from a normally confident and secure person? How can a perfectly out-going, intelligent, and hard working person become a bundle of insecurity? I have been through boot camp, an all male military world and a middle eastern deployment. I have never felt once that I did not belong. When it comes to being associated with this noble profession, I feel as if I don't belong or I am missing the secret handshake. Sometimes I actually feel like I am pressing my nose against the glass looking in at the suits and nice shoes wondering if I will be in there with my suit and really fabulous shoes. I feel like any job legal job that I have held, I have worked so hard and yet it just doesn't seem to work out. I feel like I go above and beyond what is required of me and take initiative to try new aspects of the job, but I still feel like that little girl with her nose pressed against the window.
I am not sure why now I am feeling this way. I can only credit stress and the feeling that I haven't really had a chance to experience the true profession. I just wish I could gain some of the confidence I once had and feel worthy of a bar license.

With the Internet, every information (whether about Camping Equipment For Trucks or any other such as Roof Vents, Heavy Fabric, Womens dance shoes, Saw 3 Trailer, Kindvriendelijke Camping or even Motorhome Hire) can be found with ease on the Internet, with great articles like this.
Unfortunately, passing the Bar does not make the insecurity go away.
I'm not sure if it's something that law school inculcates in us or if it's just that naturally insecure folks are drawn to the law.
Either way, I've never known anyone who has ever been in the law who hasn't had those moments of "on the outside, looking in."
Thanks armagh.......needed the pep talk!
