Question: "What is a family home?" Student's Answer: A family home is where the family stays together. [So I add, "...and prays together?"] It's the truth, really, but IN A LAW CLASS? Come on.

Law students will have many why-am-I-here moments; they will constantly wonder if all the sleepless nights, aggravation from professors, and their sudden lack of a social life will be worth it when the time comes.  I say to you, these are all part of the rite (or right) of passage.  Take things one day at a time and press on. This is the only way to survive.

To move on to greater things, it’s important to look back and take stock of what you’ve done, what you failed to accomplish, and what you could have done to achieve better results. We often take this for granted and rush into things, sometimes even forcing people to conform to what we want. But looking back requires alone time and patience. This we fail to see when we’re on the verge of what we

It's usually difficult and scary to try something you haven't done before. But then again you never know what you're missing until you dive in head first!

NEW POST: For all Moms: (These quotes were taken from 'If Mothers Were Flowers I'd Pick You' published by History & Heraldry in 2009, a little book-cum-key chain a student gave me. Read and choose one that fits you best.) A Mother's first gift is life, the second is love and the third is understanding. Instant availability without continuous presence is probably the best role a mother can play

NEW POST: On this day, Jesus, the culmination of your sacrifice and work of salvation, help us to reflect on our lives, the moments when we glorified your name, and the seemingly countless times when we chose to betray you. Allow us to feel your immense love and humility as we recall how you gave your life for us so that we may, too, join you in Heaven at the appointed time. Amen.

Just my luck that I chose to run an errand on a really hot day. I had not been out in the sun in a while and wasn’t prepared for its bright fury and scorching rays. Good thing I brought my sunglasses along, but it didn’t help at all that I picked today of all days to wear a black shirt over black jeans (Groan!).   My string of bad luck did not end there, though. As I walked along U.N. Avenue

*This was written right after Papa passed away. I found that writing about my feelings at the time helped relieve some of the heartache caused by his passing. But come to think of it, the pain never really went away...       Death had not knocked on our family’s door in a long time. I am the eldest in a family of two girls and three boys, and all of us, especially my Mama, had not expected that
