I've heard life is what you make it. I am 24 years old and fairly educated. I majored in Sport Management at one of the top three schools that offer this particular degree. I also double minored in Math and Legal Studies. I never had a passion for anything except sports so I decided I would become a sports agent. However, this is a profession that is based more on who you know and not what you know. In the mean time I thought going to law school would be a great idea. Law School would be a benefit to someone who wanted to be a sports agent as well as open up a number of other opportunities. I am no longer a law student. I was deemed academically ineligible after only one semester. I finished .02 under the threshold. I guess that information would be called consolation. The funny thing about the situation is that I still don't think law school was that hard. I worked; maybe not as hard as I could have, but I definitely worked. To say I was surprised at my grades is an understatement. I have until February 3rd to write a letter that outlines why I basically failed, and how this will be corrected next time around. This letter may or may not get me back into school this coming August. If it does not satisfy the powers that be then I will not be able to apply to another law school by rule established by the American Bar Association. Oh, I failed to mention something very essential to this equation. My grandfather cosigned a loan for me to get into law school. I have yet to tell him that I was kicked out. He would be very very reluctant to cosign another loan for someone who was dismissed due to "academic deficiency". I want to go back mostly because I don't want to be deemed a failure. My father used to always tell me time waits for no man. As I sit here and write this I can't help but to think that time is passing me by. My girlfriend is hell bent on accumulating degrees and desperately wants me to go back to law school, but I do not want to be a lawyer. I am thinking that I will move to Cali with my boy and pursue an MBA of some sort. It will give me some time to make some money so I can improve my credit so I won't need a cosigner. My real problem is that now I cannot find a job. Like most first year law students I did not work. My loan was large enough so that I did not need to. When I found out I was kicked out of school on the first day of the second semester meant I was now broke. When you look on Craigslist generally you dont see job openings with sport organizations. The best offers so far have been part time work as a math tutor and footlocker. I do enjoy Math and new sneakers for that matter, but I didn't go to school all these years for this. I guess life is what you make it. I gotta make it.
