"It's the beginning of the end..."

2009年5月12日星期二

Today is the last class for my law and economics course. The professor ended with something which probably will make me remember more than any of his economics theories.
He told us a story about his kindergarten friend, Rogie.

One day the kindergarten teacher asked the kids, what do you wanna be in life?
The kids answered the normal jobs like doctors, nurses, policeman etc. And when it came to Rogie, he said he wants to be a fire engine. The teacher told him, you can never be a fire engine. Rogie replied, 'But my mum says you can be anything you wanna be in life.'
And my prof shared that little story with us, telling us that even though we're in law school now, it doesnt mean we have to follow the usual path to become lawyers. Law school is opening us to many other opportunities, and it's never too late to be whatever we want to be in life.
Children are never scared of dreaming big. Perhaps the older we grow, the more timid we become. Cos we have tasted the feeling of losing things, hence we're more scared to aim high.
If only we can all be like Rogie.

Anyway my exams are coming soon. Just went to victoria and olympic penisula (near seattle) for the weekend on a roadtrip with my friends from law sch. Here are some pics!
