There is one email I received that I still remember quite clearly. It was from Pre-Legal International Law Firm where I had applied for an internship. At that time I was really hoping to get a position so I was waiting for their response rather than influences. I remember seeing the notification on my phone but I actually stated for a few seconds before opening it because I was afraid it might be the rejection. When I finally opened it I found out that I had made it through the sections, process and had been offered an internship. Honestly I was really happy because I knew how much effort I had put into it. I had spent quite a lot of time preparing for my CV and getting ready for the interview So, seeing the death ML was a huge relief. What made it even more meaningful was what opportunity represented. It wasn’t just about getting an internship, I was going to work in an international law firm, get first hand experience with real legal matters and learn from people who were already working in the field I wanted to pursue. Looking back, that ML was quite a big deal for me. It gave me a sense that I was actually moving into the right direction professionally. And that’s probably why I still remember it so well.

There is one email I received that I still remember quite clearly. It was from Pre-Legal International Law Firm where I had applied for an internship. At that time I was really hoping to get a position so I was waiting for their response rather than anxiously. I remember seeing the notification on my phone but I actually stared for a few seconds before opening it because I was afraid it might be a rejection. When I finally opened it I found out that I had made it through the selection process and had been offered an internship. Honestly I was really happy because I knew how much effort I had put into it. I had spent quite a lot of time preparing my CV and getting ready for the interview. So, seeing the email was a huge relief. What made it even more meaningful was what the opportunity represented. It wasn't just about getting an internship, I was going to work in an international law firm, get first hand experience with real legal matters and learn from people who were already working in the field I wanted to pursue. Looking back, that email was quite a big deal for me. It gave me a sense that I was actually moving in the right direction professionally. And that's probably why I still remember it so clearly.
