"Life as a Law Student"

Never thought that I will take "Law" as my profession but look now I am doing My Masters in Law(LLM).
We r unaware of our future, but Destiny is fixed.
After completion of my intermediate in Science, I didn't want to join Engineering and getting admission in a Govt. Medical College in our state Odisha is very difficult. I didn't want 2 waste a year for Medical Preparation, so I quit that idea of joining Akash Institute.
My Parents r very co-operative and I think d most lenient, supportive and Coolest Maa- Bapa; in short they r "d Best".
I could remember one instance from my childhood, when we were shown exam papers of some subject, My Best Friend was so nervous and frighten that she did not go home and went to her maternal uncle's home( because she got less marks), but on the other hand I got less marks then her but I came home happily shouting and demanding chocolates.
My Maa was quite strict in my Skul days but My Bapa always asked me one question- "Are U Pass Beta?"
because he knew that by getting success in one exam is not the solution, till death we have to give some exam to survive.
My father always gave me 2 options, he always said that we should not concentrate on just one Aim, we should have options, that if not 1st one then we can jump to the other one. so, that we will not get depress (As a Psychiatrist by Profession he knows it very well)
So, after completion of My 12th, he gave me 2 options-
i- to join the coaching for Medical preparation
ii- to join Integrated Law
Obviously, I chose the 2nd option, actually Law sounds different, all the movies & serials I watched, lawyers arguing before a judge & Judges doing "Order Order", I found it interesting and decided to take "Law" as My Profession.
In the law skul, I found the Law subjects quite Interesting, but the Business Subjects were boring specially Accounts. But as I had taken BBA. LLB, i had to read that.
5 semesters were over, I had successfully completed it( without any backs)
In 6th Semester, we had to choose a Hons. Subject for the purpose of Specialization, I chose "Criminal Law" this time it was solely my choice, I was alone from my BBA section, who had taken this hons. But I did not back off. because in 5 semesters I came across the truth that Graduation is not a Joke*
I found My Hons. Specialization very interesting and practical, even I visited a prison once & interacted with the prisoners.
Time passed by and another 4 semesters were over, I came to my last semester of the graduation, 10th Sem. was more of fun, we just had to give exam for one paper and rest all were projects submission.
Finally, I completed My graduation Successfully without any backs.
During the last 5 years of my graduation, I learned many aspects of law, I actually came to know "What the Law is" & "What the Law ought to be". My perspective about Law totally changed.
I had done total 8 internships in every summer breaks during the 5years and even spent 3months in Delhi (in Summer), interning under Delhi HC Judge, Law firm & Senior Lawyer of SC. I am very happy about my Internships because I had done it in a proper organized manner, starting from NGO- then Govt. Body(NRHM)- then Dist. Court.- then Odisha High Court- then Co./PSU (NALCO)- then under a Judge of Delhi HC- den Law Firm and at last in SC.
I made many friends and came across good teachers and enjoyed the life at fullest.
But, the big question was, what's next?
I can't opt a Job because My Father had restricted me from the company, law firms & Lpo jobs. He want me to join Judiciary or some Secured Jobs but as i was underage i could not give the exam. Next option was to go for higher studies i.e. Masters in Law(LLM)
I had given the CLAT(PG) but could not get a good Rank. My Bapa-Maa & actually every one @home were quite upset. But, see The God's Grace, out of no where, one day my friend called and told me that there are vacancies in NLUO, if u want, u can submit ur documents. D very next day I submit my documents & in 2days I got the result that I was selected.
That was d Most happiest moment of my life, My Maa-Bapa, my younger Bro, every single relative was happy. I could actually see the happiness in the face of My Bapa & Maa.
Now, I am writing this post in my blog, sitting in my room in NLUO. I must not forget to mention I am doing LLM which is 1 year course, and with out any year gaps in my whole career I will get the Masters Degree next year. This is God's Blessing in disguise!
Law is a professional course, after LLM, I really don't know whether I will be a professor in some Law Skul, or join judiciary or join a PSU or will practice in some courts. what ever i will do or where ever I will join, I will use my knowledge of Law & I promise to myself it will be for the betterment of the society.

Now, I can proudly say I have taken the right decision to take "LAW" as My Profession. Like My Father(who is Doctor by Profession) and give social service, I can also do the same.
