Trying to find the time.....

It has been a while since I have updated. A lot has happened since my last blog posted. I lost my Mommy to a illness she struggled with for 7 years. It was heartbreaking on our whole family and devastating to everyone .

 Now in her memory I will now fight harder to get into law school and completing my dream. A bit part of the reason I want to become a lawyer is because of her she has encouraged me my whole life through out this journey. 
I know it will never be hard but I can get through it. Losing my mom has been very very tough on me but has given me renewed hope that she is in a better place and I hope one day to spend my days forever with her.
 Until then though I have lots to complete on Earth I want to leave my stamp in this word before I die just like she did with everyone she helped. 
Me and her are a lot a like in terms of helping people and always wanting to find the good in everyone that is how I am. 

I am officially graduating next December hopefully. 

• The things I have to accomplish between then and now are a LOT. 

I still have to take the LSAT's and those are very important,I was supposed to take it December 1st but I rescheduled yet again because I am just not prepared and I would like to take it once and be done with it forever. They are good for five years so I am hoping I can be done with it once and for all. I am aiming for a June test date. I will study a lot while being off for school for a month. 
I need to rearrange my schedule in the spring semester and fit in my study for the LSAT's 

• Other things I need to take care of are recommendation letters. 
• One from my professor that I have taken for several classes and confident that she will give me one 
• The other from my Supervisor for my volunteer job that I am hoping she will give me one. Those two recommendation letters I hope to receive by May 2013. 

• The other thing I need is to send in my transcripts. 

I can already send the transcripts of the other two colleges I have attended and wait until the last possible minute for the one I am planning on graduating from. 

• The other is a personal statement that is only one page. The awesome thing is I can send these things in as I get them done.

This month my goal is to send in the transcripts from my past colleges in. Everything goes to one place and from their the organization does the hard part of putting a portfolio of our things we submitted and sends it off to all the colleges we are applying to. 
I am applying to about 20 colleges and that is my limit.

 A lot of them are from Texas because I would like to stay in my home state as it is cheaper and closer to family. My dad will be relocating with me wherever I get chosen and of course my puppy. So I am happy my dad is going to stay with me because I feel it will do him so good to relocate and start over and maybe he can find a volunteer job or get a job. He is currently retired. 

So as I check these things off I will be writing about and hopefully by August 2014 I will be attending law school. I can not wait. I am ready for this next challenge to start and I know it is a challenge but I am ready!!

Until next time,
