Why Do I Study Law?

Why do I study law? Every one of us have different reasons why we are taking up
this course, some may reason that it is their dream to become a lawyer. Some may
say that they study law because they want to have a financially stable future for their
selves and their families. Other people may reason out that it is their father or
mothers dream for them to become a lawyer thats why they took the course.
Everyone has their own reason for taking up this course and my reason is this, I took
up law because it is my fathers dream for me, but throughout the course I started to
like this course too because if I can become a lawyer, I can possibly say that I would
have a stable future, financially wise, and I also want to make my father proud of
me, because it is his greatest dream that he did not achieve because of financial
reasons and he said that if we could atleast become lawyers, then it is as if that he
achieved his dream.

I know that the study of law is very tough but with the exertion of due diligence, effort
and with the help of prayers , I know that nothing is impossible and every obstacle
that I may face in the upcoming days, I would face it with the best of my abilities
