when LOVE knocks…

"The greatest weakness of humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re still alive."

(CAVEAT: Im not suppose to talk about love matters here, i’m trying to drive at a different point, that of loving recits and law school in general while we are still alive.)

From my own point of view, i thought loving someone is as easy as getting 95 in class recits. Now, come on.. I know for us law students, getting that high is extraordinary, real extraordinary. But i do not mind, I find challenge and pleasure in class recits, as if we have a choice though.

We must learn to love reciting and being scolded. After all, everything all boils down to being trained to become one of the best lawyers this side of metro manila has ever produced. My point here is not LOVE as we all know it. My topic is about loving the study of law and not hesitating to grab every oportunity that awaits.

I have been vocal that recitations for me might come too depressing because i missed reciting a codal provision or cite a landmark case but hey, im still alive and kicking. We must not abandon the power of communicating what we have in mind as if we are not aware its a very powerful tool.

One of the basics of lawyering is communication and this early we have to have good communication skills. If that is not our forte, then try being one. Probably, as we go through the process we might just be forced to love it.

I know that being a good speaker isn’t given outright, nor you have to pay for it, it’s what practice that makes perfect. So erase the hate of being called for recit, its your chance to be known by your profs and at the same time relish the anguish and burden of not having enough time to sleep.

Just like being in love with somebody, we blush and then we tend to do everything to survive one hell of a recitation.
