Pursuing My Impossible Dream
“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.” - Christopher Reeve
I have always dreamt of being a lawyer. My father once told me that with my line of reasoning I would make a fine one. I fancy myself standing in front of the court room cross-examining witnesses, prosecuting criminals, like Casey Novak in the drama, Law and Order SVU.

This was noticed by my supervisor who called my attention. I took extra effort in assisting our trainee, by answering her questions in the simplest way she can understand and in teaching her the tricks of the trade. She eventually told me that I wasn’t what she thought I was and she apologized for her misgiving. And I never had the same feedback then, even with the rest of the new agents.

Otherwise, I am definitely happy and blessed to have my two smart kids.
As I believe that everyone has the right to defend himself, I see myself a few years from now, rendering legal services to the oppressed, particularly those who are underprivileged members of the society. As Henry Ford puts it, “To do more for the world than the world does for you - that is
